FAQs

What mixer goes with sugar plum gin? ›

The resulting gin liqueur works remarkably well sipped on its own as a digestif, or served with ginger ale and a fresh slice of orange. If you can bear it, save a dram for Christmas, when it really does go down a treat.

BROADS GIN – SPICED PLUM

A blend of spices containing nutmeg, cinnamon and allspice with subtle tangy orange notes infused by plums. 40% vol. 70cl. Perfect Serve: You can enjoy our Spiced Plum gin with an Artisan skinny tonic, garnished with a slice of orange and a stick of cinnamon to make a warming glass.

The Gin Fizz recipe is very similar to the Gin Sour and Tom Collins. The difference with the Sour is that it is served without soda and ice cubes, making it stronger. The difference from the Tom Collins to the Fizz is that it is stirred in the glass and not shaken in the shaker.

The longer the plums remain in the alcohol, the more intense the final flavour. Once the fruit is removed, the gin will last for at least a year.

Serve classically with tonic or lemonade, as part of a co*cktail, simply over ice, or mix with sparkling wine.

Gin and Ginger Ale

If you like a dry drink, ginger ale or ginger beer makes an ideal gin mixer. It works especially well with big-flavoured gins that you'd like to tone down a little. Because it's spicy rather than floral, it can stand up to bold flavours often found in gin.

Drink neat over ice, mix with your favourite tonic, we like Fever-Tree elderflower, add to a glass of prosecco, mix it up with ginger ale, or even serve warm!

The resulting gin is rich with fragrant plum flavours, which are sweet and delectably moreish, all kissed by subtle hints of cinnamon, clove and star anise.

Spiced gin mixers

There are currently lots of choices out there, from spiced tonic to citrus tonics, both of which perfectly complement the aromatic spices of our Sweet Potato Indian Spiced Gin. If tonic's really not your thing, try mixing spiced gin with ginger ale or ginger beer.

The main difference between the two classic co*cktails is that a Gin Fizz is served without ice, and a Tom Collins is served on ice. Another key difference is that a Gin Fizz features egg white. Confusingly, a Gin Fizz is sometimes referred to as a Silver Fizz too.

Gin & Hard Seltzer

Crisp, bubbly and light on the boozy, hard seltzer can make a fantastic alternative mixer to tonic with your gin. And, if it's a flavoured hard seltzer then all the better.

The 'Gin Sour' is one of those co*cktails that has seen many tweaks and variations over the years since it evolved from the 'Tom Collins' co*cktail. It is one of the all-time classic gin-based co*cktails, first appearing as a written recipe in 1862 by legendary barman Jerry Thomas in his book 'The Bartender's Guide'.

At the end of the maceration process you're left with a nice pile of plums which are still full of juice AND spirit. You can squeeze this out, but it will make your liqueur cloudy.

Must I Refrigerate Gin? You should! Many experts suggest that the best way to store gin is in the fridge, especially if you do not have ice to keep your drinks cool. Of course, since they have a lot of alcohol, you don't have to put them in the fridge.

Keeping the sun at bay, and minimising how much air, or oxygen, gets into the bottle, you'll have plenty of time to use it before any noticeable change in appearance or flavour! A point worth noting is unlike wine, gin doesn't “get better with age”. So don't bother with keeping it aside for ageing's sake.
