Hendrick’s Lunar<\/a> & Fever Tree<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Smells of cucumber, pepper, and faint citrus. The taste is crisp and herbaceous with flavors of cucumber, lime, black pepper, and a hint of juniper. The finish is long and low in bitterness, featuring notes of lime peels, black pepper, cucumber, and subtle pine. Overall, I really can barely taste this gin, the garnish seems to overpower it and all I get is that and a vague juniper flavor throughout.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A G&T without garnish is has a few more citrus, pepper, and baking spice notes.<\/p>\n

A gimlet has notes of juniper and flowers, but it’s very subtle and gets lost in the mix.<\/p>\n

A dry martini is indeed dry, and the vermouth flavors stand out more than the gin, despite using Hendricks’ recommend 5:1 ratio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Similarly, a martinez has just a hint of botanicals in the finish, otherwise just tasting like sweet vermouth.<\/p>\n

In a negroni however, the black pepper really shines through and accentuates the bitter herbal notes of the Campari well. A most interesting result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4938,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","embm_styles":[187],"embm_groups":[],"embm_menus":[],"class_list":["post-4936","embm_beer","type-embm_beer","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","embm_style-gin-tonic"],"embm_profile":{"malts":"Gin: Juniper, Rose Petals, Cucumber, Coriander, Angelica Root, Orris Root, Orange Peel, Lemon Peel, Cubeb Berries, Grains of Paradise, Caraway Seeds, Elderflower, Yarrow, Chamomile, Cardamom","hops":"Tonic: Congoan Quinine, Tanzanian Bitter Orange, Provencal "subtle botanicals", Gloucestershire Elderflower","additions":"Garnish: Cucumber slices, Fresh Ground Pepper","yeast":"","abv":43.4,"ibu":null},"embm_extras":{"availability":"","notes":"","beer_number":null},"embm_untappd":{"id":null},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/4936","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/embm_beer"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4936"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/4936\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4944,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/4936\/revisions\/4944"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4936"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"embm_style","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_styles?post=4936"},{"taxonomy":"embm_group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_groups?post=4936"},{"taxonomy":"embm_menu","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_menus?post=4936"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
