I bet you didn't know that right now, the hottest drink in Spain is Gin and Tonic, or as they say in Spain, 'Gin y Tonic'. I'm completely serious. Spain was a little late to the cocktail game but the whole country has gone mad for the stuff. Check this out.
The Spanish do a few things quite differently. First of all, they always use quality tonic and never from a soda gun. Secondly, they serve in a wine goblet, rather than in the English / American tradition of a tall glass. This actually makes a lot of sense, when you consider the aromatics of good gin and good tonic.
You will also find adventurous garnishes in Spain, well beyond the traditional lime wedge or twist. Some Spanish bartenders are taking this a bit too far, with a salad of garnishes in your goblet; but many alternative garnishes are quite surprising and refreshing. A sprig of rosemary can be a real winner with the right G&T.
We have a Spanish gin sponsoring our Lobster bake, and an excellent one at that: Gin Mare. The pot still used to make Gin Mare was purchased by the Giro Ribot family in the 1950s. Gin Mare was started in 2007 by Manuel and Mark Ribot Jr. Their mission was to push the boundaries of the definition of gin as well as achieve exquisite quality. They succeeded.
While certainly juniper inflected, this Mediterranean gin includes aromatics from local arbequina olives, coriander, thyme, basil, rosemary, plus the citrus and other things you find in most gins. The botanicals are distilled separately and then combined to make Gin Mare.
The result is a more savory gin, a gin unlike any other. They produce their own tonic to match it. The very special 1724. The result is just spectacular. We will be serving goblets of Gin Mare and 1724 Tonic. If the weather is nice, we'll be on the sidewalk!
