The way that you enjoy your gin will usually depend on personal preference. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prestigehampers.co.uk\/alcohol-gifts\">Gin <\/a>has a distinct taste which some prefer all on its own while others like to dilute the flavour and make a more refreshing drink. Here are some of the top ways of enjoying your favourite bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Neat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gin has come a long way over the years and you may notice some alcohol gift hampers that include bottles with some delicious flavours. In this case, many people like to pour some into a small glass and sip on it slowly. It is served without ice or any kind of mix or soda. This way, the rich flavours are fully appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chilled<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you ask to have your drink served up, it means that it should be chilled but served without ice. To do this, you will need to pour some into a shaker and add ice. Shake to chill before straining into a glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On the rocks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you like the idea of an ice cold\ndrink that will become slightly diluted over time, then on the rocks\nis for you. Many people enjoy drinking whisky on the rocks and gin is\noften served in the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">With tonic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is probably the most popular of\nall combinations. Add gin to a tall glass, squeeze some lemon and add\na slice if you like. Then top with some tonic water and enjoy this\nrefreshing drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cocktails<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some cocktails like a Martini or Long\nIsland Iced Tea have proven popular for many years. They are two of\nthe most popular gin cocktails of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are so many ways of enjoying this popular spirit and, with various flavours now available, its popularity has increased even more. Gin hampers make excellent gifts for gin drinkers and they are suitable for all occasions.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gin is one of the most popular alcohol spirits on the market and, like many others, it can be enjoyed in a number of ways. &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":5024,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,8],"tags":[2722,1057,2724,2723,2721],"class_list":["post-5023","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all-articles","category-drinks-and-cocktrails","tag-drinking-gin","tag-gin","tag-gin-serving-tips","tag-how-to-enjoy-gin","tag-how-to-serve-gin"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.3 (Yoast SEO v25.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How do you drink your gin? - Hamper Diaries<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Gin is a popular drink for many.
