Gin, the socially acceptable way to drink something that tastes like a herb garden on a vibe. Whether you’re clinking glasses in Cape Town or sipping something cold on your Joburg balcony, there’s a gin for everyone. But let’s be honest: you probably fall into one of these four archetypes. Let’s unpack, shall we?
The Traditionalist
You like your gin like your biltong: classic, strong, and no funny business. Just a double Gin and Indian tonic water and maybe a slice of lemon. No fluff, no frills. You say things like, “Why fix what’s not broken?” and secretly judge anyone who uses the word “infused.”
The Explorer
If there’s a new gin on the shelf, you’ve tried it. Rooibos-infused? Naartjie zest? A gin made from fynbos harvested by moonlight? Count you in. You’re here for the flavours, the botanicals, and the experience, darling. You’ve probably said, “This one has floral notes with a hint of pepper” while everyone else just tasted… gin.
Speaking of rooibos-infused, try out our Mzansi Sunburst Cocktail 😉
The Garnisher
Your G&T looks like it belongs in a bouquet delivery box. Strawberries, rosemary,
cucumber ribbons, even a slice of grapefruit and a cinnamon stick (for depth, obviously) You believe a drink should be photogenic, and your Instagram Stories agree. #GinGoals
The Premixadonna
Convenience is key. You’re the proud queen or king of the ready-to-drink life. Just crack
open that pretty little bottle or can, and boom, perfection! You say, “Why mix when I can
just sip?” and honestly, you’re not wrong.
No matter your gin vibe, we raise a glass to you. May your tonic be cold, your ice plentiful,
and your garnish… optional.
