![]() ![]() ![]() I also made G&Ts with Tanqueray, which I used as a frame of reference against which to compare, and certainly not an excuse to have more gin and tonic. Zounds! The Lone Wolf Gin and Tonic is a belter. With both types of tonic, it tastes far stronger than the Tanqueray (itself hardly mimsy). Cold, dark, coniferous forests fragrant in a winter downpour. This is how I like a G&T: powerful, serious, uncompromising. I think I prefer it with Fever Tree Regular Tonic, though it’s good with Light Tonic too. Regular smooths and softens it just a little, teasing out some warmth, some voluptuousness. With Fever Tree Light, things are just slightly more perfunctory. It’s not exotic (the prominence of pine is the most strikingly atypical thing about it, but it still very much tastes like gin), and the hoofing deep/dark flavours are nicely cut with citrus, keeping it from being too gruff. Lone Wolf G&T Verdict The Lone Wolf Negroni I’d suggest serving it with lemon (or grapefruit if you have one kicking about) - or you could chuck in a sprig of rosemary if you want to amp up the woody stuff even further. The Negroni game is harder to play with a bossy bastard like Lone Wolf. ![]() My first attempt was terrible: equal measures of Lone Wolf Gin, Campari and Cocchi Vermouth di Torino. The Cocchi is crowded out (except for its sweetness), resulting in a Negroni with a thudding bass, a bit of shrill treble, but not much filling out the mid-range - like listening to your neighbours’ amorous antics the other side of your bedroom wall. There may well be good stuff involved, in other words, but you’re not getting the benefit. What you need to make a Lone Wolf Negroni work is a similarly assertive vermouth. You may recall that I have an open bottle of Asterley Brothers English Vermouth lingering lugubriously in my fridge and that works far better. I also - as is my wont - substituted Sacred Rosehip Cup for Campari. This made for a hugely superior drink: quite a distance from the typical Negroni, but balanced, complex, strong. Rather damn nice.īottom line, though: Lone Wolf is not ideal for a Negroni, primarily because it’s too damn full of flavour itself. With Campari, there’s a bit of a clash (two motormouths at a dinner party). Work around it as I did above, or (perhaps more sensibly) save it for drinks where gin is unquestionably the focus. Which makes it no surprise at all that this egocentric gin should excel in the context of… The Lone Wolf Martini This is a Lone Wolf, after all, not a goddamn Pack Wolf. I was impatient - and so are you, because you already know it’s going to be good. Therefore I went for a Duke’s Hotel-style martini (no pissing around with ice and stirring, just a freezer-cold glass, rinsed with a little vermouth, freezer-cold gin poured straight on, large lemon twist) and, Christ alive, it’s good. ![]() The pine and juniper heavies mug you at the beginning, in that charming mockney way of theirs - don’t worry, they won’t break the skin - and afterwards, as you lie there in the gutter, blissfully concussed, you’re in for a long, toasty-warm, creamy-dreamy finish - I’m talking ten, twenty seconds (exhausting, eh?) - during which the taste becomes ever more sweet and perfumed. If you squint your tastebuds, there’s rose in there. This is the kind of thing that got Edmund into deep shit in The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe, gobbling Turkish Delight while being whisked through the snowy forests by the queen of ice. If that’s not Lone Wolf Gin in the Witch’s magic hipflask, I don’t know what it is. Oh, yeah, well done if you saw the Narnia metaphor coming. Your attentiveness makes this all worthwhile.
