Australian summer and a gin premix suit each other handsomely. Nothing beats that feeling of having a chilled gin and tonic while the sun touches your skin. And when you’re having a great time with your mates, you’re on the move most of the time and need to rely on a premixed drink to quench your thirst. No matter if you are at a festival, a picnic, or a BBQ, the ready-to-drink long drinks in our shop are the perfect solution for you.
Thanks to the British East India Company, which used quinine and tonic for treating and preventing malaria in India, we get to enjoy this delicious long drink. Because the quinine was unpleasant to drink with tonic water, British officers added water, sugar, lime and gin to the mixture. This new mix made the drink more palatable, and the famous gin tonic premix was born.
Luckily, the market for gin and related products is booming in recent years. Your gin premix options now include leading international brands and products such as Gordon’s Gin & Tonic, Bombay Sapphire Gin & Tonic, and Tanqueray Gin & Tonic. In Australia, we also have some excellent premix producers such as Vickers London Dry Gin, The West Winds Gin, and Manly Spirits.
Because we all have different tastebuds and love to try out new variations, the producers offer their gin premixed with different tastes. Next to the classic gin and tonic premix, which is the most popular, you can also find a gin premixed with soda or pink grapefruit. Sometimes producers also add hints of lime (or lime) to their G&T variants, which is replacing the traditional lemon or lime garnish in a glass.
Browse our extensive Bottle Stop e website and have a look at the different gin premix products we offer. If you are also interested in other premixed drinks check out the drinks produced with vodka, whiskey, bourbon, gin, or rum. Just filter by region or sort by brand to check the availability of your favourite premixed items.
What does gin premix taste like?
What a gin premix tastes like entirely depends on the base gin’s type and the added flavour that accompanies the gin. The usual combinations are gin and tonic as well as gin and soda because these two complement a gin best.
The flavours of gin originate from juniper berries, botanical herbs, spices, and floral flavours. For that reason, you can primarily expect tastes of pine, herbs, and flowers. Besides, every producer has a distinct style and utilises the ingredients differently, which leads to slightly different tastes. However, juniper berries always form a gin’s base and taste.
Now, if you blend gin and a complementing flavour, that leads to a refreshing and crisp summer long drink. These mixes are light and often have well-balanced flavour profiles.
A well-balanced gin and tonic premix offers subtle citrus, delicate complexity, notes and floral flavours to your palette while having a slightly bitter finish. Some producers make their G&T very acidic or add flavours of cucumber or elderflower.
In contrast, a pink gin premix focuses more on real berry flavours. Doing so balances out the gin’s bitterness with the sweetness of red berries like strawberries and raspberries. Swapping the traditional mixer for soda further improves taste because the juniper flavour is more pronounced and can shine through instead of being muted through a sugary liquid.
What all our gin premix products have in common, though, is that you should drink them cold. Keep them chilled in a bucket or esky full of ice, or pour the drink into a glass and over ice cubes. The reason is that the ice (or chilling) cools the gin, mutes the alcohol in your mouth, and makes the drink pleasant to drink.
