Celebrate International Gin & Tonic Day in style at Hotel du Vin

 Possibly one of the UK’s favourite days of the year – International Gin and Tonic Day – takes place this Sunday on the 9th April.

The best way to celebrate? With a gin and tonic inspired Afternoon Tea.

The boutique hotel has partnered with ‘Best in Class’ Fever-Tree to offer the perfect accompaniment to this British favourite. It’s Afternoon Tea is accompanied by a specially curated Gin and Tonic menu, featuring a selection of hand-picked gins, each perfectly paired with its own tonic, such as:

  • The Sipsmith Sloe, a deliciously rich and smooth gin that leaves moreish cherry, almond, cinnamon and plum notes on the palate is lengthened with Fever-Tree’s Sicilian Lemon Tonic and a garnish of orange rind,  for a refreshingly fruity drink

 

  • Gin Mare – a bold gin with olive and basil flavours – is accentuated with the rosemary, lemon-thyme and geranium in Fever-Tree’s Mediterranean Tonic for a herbal,  savoury twist on the classic G&T

 

  • Monkey 47, inspired by perfumery and distilled in Germany’s New Black Forest, 47 botanicals give this premium gin a depth and complexity, which is lifted by Fever-Tree’s Indian tonic. Served with strawberry and lime, it’s a treat

The Afternoon Tea itself features a creative selection of mini sandwiches and savouries, from Severn and Wye smoked salmon and cream cheese bagels, to ham with Gruyere croissants and goat’s cheese and spinach quiches. This is followed by the traditional scones with cream and jam, and topped off with a choice of sweet treats including rhubarb and custard doughnuts and homemade apple candy floss.
