The Perfect Gin & Tonic
Combining crafts from Japan & Israel to elevate a classic drink
The Perfect Gin & Tonic
The Gin & Tonic is an classic cocktail for a reason - it's simple to make and, done right, is refreshing and herbaceous. And with just 2 ingredients, elevating it takes picking the ones that both stand out on their own while blending together.
We've picked these bottles from two special makers that embody artisnal, local spirit because they are both great on their own and even better together.

About the Makers
Inspired by tradition and distilled locally, The Kyoto Distillery is in the run to join the city’s collection of cultural achievements. Three incredibly gifted people; Noriko Kakuda Croll, David Croll and Marcin Miller, set out to study thoroughly and immerse themselves in the city’s history and craftsmanship to ultimately create one of the world’s finest gins, flavored with thought and intention.
Naama SternLicht, a gradute of the University of Gastronomic Science began her love affair with tonic at her own Tel Aviv restaurant. She began experimenting with raw quinine bark she got delivered from a vendor by preparing syrups for cocktails and mocktails that went on her menu. Her customers loved it. And over time she moved to be closer to the raw materials that would serve her own herbal tonic business.
