Gin Cocktail

About this episode

This episode dives into various gin cocktails, discussing their history and components while paying tribute to Wayne Collins.

Continuing on our recent theme, this week we dive into the Gin Cocktails. Having dealt with the Martini in its own episode, here we suggested a few more big hitters in the world of evening libations. From the sour derivative Tom Collins through to the Count of all cocktails, the Negroni. Along the way we discuss other component parts such as soda water or tonic, and sugar syrup. As ever there is a bit of history and a few suggestions on how to (ahem) shake things up. We also talk bad alcohol, Superman and a nod In Memoriam to Wayne Collins, to whom the episode is dedicated. Chin chin! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
