This elegant classic has its roots in 19th-century New York, where it was originally known as the "Sweet Martini." With its perfect balance of gin and vermouth, it quickly became a favorite in Manhattan's bars. When Prohibition swept through America, the Gin & It made its way across the Atlantic to London, where it took root among the British – not least because of their love of gin. The name "It" refers to the sweet vermouth's country of origin, Italy, which is an essential ingredient in this timeless cocktail.
With Njord Distilled Mother Nature and our Njord Ligalab Vermouth, this classic gains a Scandinavian twist. The gin, with its notes of sweet woodruff, rowan berries, and sea buckthorn, adds depth and a taste of Danish nature. Meanwhile, the vermouth contributes complexity with its base of Danish apple wine, spiced with aromatic herbs and aged in Burgundy barrels.
The result is a cocktail that combines sweetness, bitterness, and a subtle dryness – perfect to enjoy neat over ice as a flavorful appetizer.
1. Add Distilled Mother Nature, Vermouth and sugar syrup.
2. Add ice and stir.
3. Pour over ice in a glass.
4. Squeeze a slice of lemon peel and drop it in the glass.
Cheers!
The potato distillate gives this gin a round, deep and creamy character that perfectly matches the mild sweetness and mellow bitterness created by the botanicals used. Mother Nature is subdued elegance. Under the simple surface lie many layers that slowly emerge, taking you deeper and deeper into Danish nature.
This gin also comes in a special edition with a 50% alcohol strength which results in an even deeper flavour.
