Last year we went on an extended weekend trip to London. First of all to visit some friends and secondly because we were attending a craft beer festival. We had an amazing time and really enjoyed both being with our friends and tasting a lot of great beer. One of the days we went to a food market. And inside the market area down in a corner a gin bar unfolded and we knew right away that we had to go taste some gin and of course some G&T's.
The gin bar offered a lot of different gin cocktails which we tried some of. Unfortunately I don't recall the gins they used for the cocktails we had. But we had a cocktail with cucumber and elderflower and one with Aperol and grapefruit juice - and of course gin!
The cucumber/elderflower cocktail was refreshing and had a Hendricks G&T feeling due to the cucumber. The grapefruit/Aperol wasn't nearly as refreshing and was almost a bit to heavy for the nice late summer weather. Maybe a little less Aperol and more grapefruit juice would have done the trick.
The gin bar offered hundreds of different gins and I believe we tried 4-6 different gins. If you come across a gin bar in London, I will definitely recommend that you give it a go, because them brits to love their gin!
