The epic gin and tonic at Oriole, presented by Schweppes 1783

You’re going to get a stunning gin and tonic when adding Schweppes 1783 Crisp Tonic Water into the mix. At Oriole they make this version with Star of Bombay gin and fresh lime juice, served with pickled juniper berries on the side. The crisp and balanced taste of the tonic brings out the best of the gin’s intense juniper and coriander flavours and offsets the sweetness of fresh lime. And that signature fizz brings a whole fleet of aromas bursting up from your glass. This is one seriously classy G&T.

If you’re sipping a sophisticated gin cocktail like this one, you deserve to be doing so in one of London’s classiest bars. Take a trip to Oriole, a secretive Smithfields cocktail lounge that transports you a thousand miles away. Exotic palm prints and artefacts from far-off lands decorate the room, and with one sip of this uniquely refreshing gin and tonic, you’ll be convinced you’re winding down after a hot day in the tropics. Live jazz and the slickest of bar service will get you fully relaxed, while this drink will bring your senses back to life. The perfect setting for your ‘ahhh!’ moment.
