With a brilliantly cold gin and tonic comes the promise of celebration; whether it’s as a pre-lunch drink on a Sunday (because Sunday lunch is cause for celebration, isn’t it?) or the first tipple of the evening at a wedding party, a lovingly prepared G&T is, for me, the ultimate in summer party refreshment.

It’s just that little bit fancier than a glass of wine or a beer and, when made with good gin and a worthy tonic – because not all are equal – it offers all the glamour of a cocktail, with nearly none of the effort because who wants to be whisking egg whites anyway?

14 gifts every gin & tonic lover will love

So, by way of honouring gin and the institution that is the G&T, I’ve rounded up 15 of the best gin-themed gifts, that you may or may not choose to give away…
