Cool Britannia’s National Drink
 Britons have a history of being great lovers of gin and tonic – a drink that enjoys a long association with the most well loved British institutions. It appears in seven James Bond films and is quaffed by such celebrated young Brits as Julien McDonald and Elizabeth Jagger, confirming its place in Cool Britannia’s heart.
Martin Miller’s Gin is reviving this great British classic for summer ‘06. 2005 saw a summer of sumptuous gin cocktails reminiscent of the 1930s era of Bright Young Things partying the nights away. But 2006 is all about the clean and stylish gin and tonic, served in a tumbler, filled to the brim with large ice-cubes and finished with a twist of lime.
In the East, gin was historically added to tonic to improve the taste of this quinine rich mixer, when ex-patriots drank it to remain healthy (hence its name tonic). As they left India, this much loved tipple came back to Blighty and is now as much a part of our heritage as the pillar box and the Union Jack!
Martin Miller’s Gin has refined this great British favourite, sourcing the world’s purest water and selecting suppliers for its botanicals according to where those of the highest quality are being grown. Only the purest part of the distillation process – the heart – is used in Martin Miller’s Gin, which is what give it a taste as smooth as Bond himself. Topped up with premium tonic water, there is no better drink to enjoy on a warm English summer’s day! With lots of events planned for the social season, any occasion this summer will be special when drinking a Martin Miller’s Gin and Tonic!
