Real martinis are made with gin!

November 19th, 2011

No.3 Gin to be exact.

A recent trip to Boston provided me with the opportunity to try a gin new to US markets. Full disclosure: I am very fond of gin and happen to think it is marvelous mixed with tonic or swirled with vermouth in a classic martini.

No.3 Gin has a great story to back up its superb flavor. With over 300 years of gin making experience, Berry Bros. & Rudd know a thing or two about gin. Made from a proprietary recipe of three fruits and three spices, No.3 Gin is a traditional London Dry Gin.

The fruits are Italian juniper, Spanish orange peel and grapefruit peel. The spices are angelica root, Moroccan coriander seed and cardamom. Gin is so fantasticly flavorful, a vodka martini simply cannot compare a well made gin martini.

If you happen to have a gin drinker on your holiday list, I promise that No.3 Gin will surely delight.
