David T. Smith

Sinossi

Aromatic, refreshing, delicious and a FEAST FOR THE EYES, the generously-sized and creatively garnished 'gin tonica' Spanish-style drink has taken the COCKTAIL WORLD by storm.

This simplest of drinks – just GIN, TONIC, ICE and a garnish – is considered the national drink of Spain.

With more gin brands and styles of tonic available than ever before, and 40 INSPIRED RECIPES here to try at home, there has never been a better time to discover the joy of the gin tonica – saludos!

Spaniards love their gin and tonics. In Spain, the bartender doesn't ask you what you want to drink, he asks you how you want your gin and tonic prepared! The trend started in the north of Spain, in Basque country, where you can walk into a bar and upon ordering you are presented with a cart teeming with gin and tonic options to create your very own bespoke drink. A beautiful cocktail with a variety of herb and flower garnishes, a Spanish-style gin and tonic or 'gin tonica', is made with a premium gin and the best quality tonic water, combined with bitters and various herbs, spices, flowers and fruits that will complement the botanicals of a specific gin. It is served over ice in an oversized balloon glass – the idea being that the shape enables the drinker to enjoy all the lovely aromas their drink gives off. For a cocktail with only two ingredients, the flavour potential is staggering!

The Herb and Spice Garden -...

Gertrude Harris

Herbs and spices have been an integral part of human culture for centuries, shaping our food, health, and even our daily rituals. From the rich, aromatic notes of basil in Italian cuisine to the vibrant warmth of cumin in Middle Eastern dishes, these tiny powerhouses of flavor elevate the ordinary to extraordinary. Beyond taste, herbs and spices also carry centuries of tradition, medicinal uses, and cultural significance. Whether grown in your backyard, balcony, or kitchen windowsill, the act of cultivating these plants provides a deeper connection to the food we prepare and the flavors we savor.
Why Grow Your Own?
While many of us enjoy the convenience of pre-packaged herbs and spices from the grocery store, there is something incredibly special about growing your own. Freshly picked herbs from your garden are unparalleled in both flavor and aroma. The difference between store-bought dried basil and freshly cut basil is striking; it’s not just about taste but also the vibrant green color, the essential oils, and the sheer joy of picking your own ingredients. Growing your own herbs and spices allows you to create a garden that’s uniquely yours, tailored to your tastes, and adapted to your climate. Additionally, when you grow your own, you have access to herbs and spices at their peak potency, without the added preservatives or packaging of store-bought varieties.
The Basics of Growing: A Beginner’s Guide
Starting a herb and spice garden is simpler than it may seem. Even if you have no prior gardening experience, herbs like basil, rosemary, and mint are relatively easy to grow and require minimal attention. Many of these plants thrive in a variety of conditions, making them perfect for beginner gardeners. Whether you’re planting in the ground or using containers, herbs are incredibly adaptable and can be grown in almost any space—from large backyards to small apartment balconies.
