A gift of distilled juniper berries, gin is often deemed as a snobbish drink has seen a resurgence in the last decade with people choosing cocktails that exclusively use gin, to savour its flavour.
Sample the different gin varieties available in the market, there are many kinds but the London dry gin is the most common and readily available in the market.
The sour element will complement and enhance the gin's botanical flavours. Some examples are lemon juice, lime juice, grapefruit juice, and tart fruits.
Now that your cocktail is half done, it's time to tame down the sours with something sweet. Some syrups examples are: herbal infusions, honey, tea, and fruit juice.
Ideally, the garnish should be one of the ingredients either from the sour or the sweet. It all depends on how well it can fit inside or on the edge of the glass, without mixing with the cocktail and ruining the taste.
