This is when the glass is fatter at the bottom and slimmer at the top. These glasses are said to offer the best way for the drink to be tasted - the bulbous bottom gives the gin a chance to swirl around. While the Plaza de España market is an excellent Mahon shopping choice for foodies and those who just love a good bite to eat, you'll find you'll have a much wider selection of local produce at the covered market on Plaza Claustre del Carme. This includes everything from Menorcan cheeses to sausages, local fruits and vegetables. This market takes place in the old cloisters of the Carmen church, a beautiful Neo-Classical landmark. Whether you fancy buying some seafood with fresh Menorcan herbs, or a tasty salad with Menorca's delicious paprika-infused Sobrassada cured pork, you can find it all right here. Gin de Mahon, one of few protected by a geographical indication, exemplifies the varied influences on Menorcan culture The original recipe looked at the gin made in the Netherlands to develop what will become the gin of Mahon. We only use one botanical, juniper, which is more similar to the Dutch style,” says Camps, quoting recent research that proves how trade with the Dutch had a significant impact on the development of Mahon’s gin style.

Once that’s done, coat your palm with gin, leave it a few seconds so the alcohol disappears, cup and smell - this will offer up the aroma notes of the gin before you actually taste. So, let’s get to it. Here are our top tips and essentials to making the best Spanish Gin and Tonic: 1. The Glass Next take one of your perfectly cut lime wedges and between thumb and forefinger, squeeze into the bottom of the highball glass then drop in the wedge. Look out for a pair of traditional avarcas sandals worn on the island. Hard-wearing, they are perfect for the beach and walking along the port, and also have a special status which means they can only be manufactured in Menorca. Incidentally, shoe-making has been one of Menorca's main industries for centuries, which, like gin, has its origins in the 18th century. In fact, this industry has provided a livelihood for many families on the island for years.If you do it in a standard shot glass, then you are mostly just getting the ethanol fume and that isn’t a good thing. Up until 2015, this was gin made in Plymouth UK (hence the name). Now, there is only one distillery in Plymouth. Plymouth Original Strength is 41.2% and isn’t quite as dry as the London gin variant.

It’s crucial to get your glass as cold as possible by initially stirring a few ice cubes around the glass to chill it. Drain out any excess water. Open your chilled bottle of FeverTree tonic water just before you need it so it’s lively then pour 100ml over the ice. Make sure that you vote for your favourite tipple and if your gin of choice isn't in the list, let us know below and we'll try and get it in to sample so we can see how it compares to all of the others.

If you want pink gin or a gin that's sweeter, then let our best flavoured gin list be your guide. And you will also need a mixer – that's where our best tonic water list comes in. The gin Xoriguer Mahon bottle is as distinctive as its determinedly Spanish-influenced flavour. You can buy the Xoriguer gin that UK gin connoisseurs are going wild for online. The Spanish Gin and Tonic Recipe We try to make a distillation that doesn’t require other steps, so what you have inside the bottle is mostly undiluted spirit. That being said, our production method is very artisanal. We don’t have any technology to control the temperature of distillation, so we might end up with a spirit that’s between 40% and 46% ABV, and we might have to dilute a bit to get it down to 38% ABV.”This is the place to be if you're looking for some great-value clothing and leather goods. In summer, the Mercat Ambulant del Parc Rochina also has a traditional Menorcan dance show when cruise ships arrive in Mahon, which is well worth seeing. The method involves a one-stage distillation undertaken in the distillery’s 250-year-old, 700-litre alembic, heated solely by wood from Menorca’s forests. In the past, gin was also rested in wooden barrels before bottling, yet today it’s bottled immediately after distillation.
