Our crystal-clear March 2021 Perfect G&T is a delicious blend of local Hampshire products: The River Test Distillery Chalkstream Gold, our delectable March 2021 Gin of the Month, and Hartridges Grapefruit Tonic. Both of which can be found in our March 2021 Gin of the Month box, along with the gorgeous garnish duo that is lemon and cucumber.
With its subtly sweet and herbaceous juniper, bay and rosemary tones, The River Test Distillery Chalkstream Gold is the perfect partner to the beautiful, zesty citrus notes of Hartridges Grapefruit Tonic. Finished with slices of cucumber and lemon, this delightful G&T is a mouth-watering ode to the British countryside.

So why Hartridges Grapefruit Tonic? Well, that’s easy…
For more than 138 years, the Hartridge family have been crafting stunning soft drinks from their home in the rolling Hampshire hills. A family business for five generations, there’s much more to the tonic water Craft Gin Club members can find in their March 2021 Gin of the Month box than history and heritage.
All of Hartridges’ marvellous mixers are crafted using the finest ingredients, inspired by their original recipe from over 130 years ago and their Grapefruit Tonic is no different. Vegan-friendly, gluten-free and made with no artificial flavours or preservatives it’s incredible in the two spring-inspired cocktails below.
Hartridge’s Grapefruit Tonic is the perfect mixer for gin lovers.
Gin Sonic
“The ‘sonic’ — a combination of soda water and tonic — is lower in sugar than a standard G&T, and was inspired by Japanese-style highball drinks, which tend to be lighter and clearer than what we’re used to in Europe. This is a great one to try if you don’t love bitter flavours because the soda will smooth out the quinine in the tonic while still allowing it to enhance the botanicals of the gin. ”
