We both love our Navy strength and over-proof gins. Why? Because the higher the ABV (alcohol by volume) the more the flavour of the botanicals is retained.
If you are watching your alcohol intake you can get the same delicious ginny taste in your cocktail, even if you are using a smaller measure.
This Lightning gin and vermouth spritz is our go-to for an easy drinking, lower ABV, lower cal* tipple
