Tanqueray No. Ten Gin

Tanqueray No. Ten is distilled with fresh citrus fruits, with grapefruit, juniper and chamomile character. Try it in a Martini when you want the citrus to lead. Keep the garnish simple and adjust the vermouth gradually rather than covering the gin with a heavy first pour.

This listing is for the 750 ml size. At a 1-ounce cocktail measure, that volume provides approximately 25 pours before allowing for spills or a different recipe.

Try a measured gin and tonic: pour 1 ounce into a glass of ice, add 3 ounces of chilled tonic and stir gently. Start with one small citrus garnish. Too much lemon, lime or grapefruit can dominate the gin, while a larger measure of tonic changes the balance of sweetness and bitterness. Soda water is another option when you want to explore the gin with a simpler mixer.

For a short cocktail, pair 1 ounce of gin with 1 ounce of dry vermouth, stir with ice and strain into a chilled glass. This vermouth-forward Martini variation gives you a starting point for adjusting the proportions. Try it once with a lemon twist and once with an olive to see which combination you prefer. Refrigerate opened vermouth and keep the gin capped, away from heat and sunlight.
