Tanqueray Gin and Tonic with Orange Peel Cocktail
The Tanqueray Gin and Tonic with Orange Peel cocktail is a subtle yet timeless drink. Depth from Tanqueray’s London Dry Gin stems from the precise combination of four unique botanicals: juniper, coriander, angelica and liquorice. This refined base, when mixed with crisp tonic water and the vivid fragrant oils of fresh orange peel, results in a perfectly balanced exchange and is the perfect go-to beverage because of how easy it is to make, requiring few ingredients and for its seamless refinement.
