Review

Something of a Spanish phenomenon, where the G&T (which in England has been traditionally served in a tall slim Collins glass) tends to be served in a huge goldfish bowl of a glass – big enough to house garnishes ranging from cardamom pods and juniper berries to fruit peels and slices of ginger.

I agree the cardamon pods opinion, thank you John. Maybe one needs very fresh ones or has to soak them before (in the gin?). Besides that I like this southern climate version, it remains the quest to pair the right gin and tonic.

Very interesting gin and tonic variation. Not sure if the cardamon pods did anything, but I am sure a little flavour came out as it sat. Used our regular dry gin, but may use a stronger flavoured one to see the differences. May also try our rye gin.

Usually when I make this style of gin and tonic I use Gin Mare and Fever Tree Tonic Water, then I will use a sprig of rosemary and a slice of grapefruit for the aromatics.
