About the Gin & It

The Gin & It is a simple yet strong cocktail, mixing the herbal and citrus notes of Gin with the smoothness of Sweet Vermouth. A drink that combines strength and flavor, it’s a great option for those who appreciate a spirit-forward cocktail. It has been a classic choice in many bars for decades.

It is a perfect example of the traditional style, with a flavor profile that's both bold and aromatic.

    Similar to the Manhattan, but with scotch whisky replacing the gin, providing a smokier, richer taste.
