Summertime refreshment!

A Gin and Tonic was the recommendation of Majordomo John and it was refreshing in this 100 degree heat. This conversation led to John's advice to me to try the new Beefeater 24. This new gin introduced in '09, differs as it has the addition of Chinese green tea along with Japanese Sensha. The Sensha is a Japanese green tea that is ground. These two ingredients are brewed in with traditional botanicals that are used in Beefeater gin.
