(iPhone-friendly YouTube version of the above clip here.) Embury caught up with Beefeater Brand Ambassador Dan Warner and asked him to show us how to make the perfect gin & tonic. I'm always surprised when I see a proper British version being made--there's considerably less gin than in many Americans' heavy pour. This is a much more reasonable ratio for long, hot afternoons. Dan made the G & T with Beefeater 24, the subtle, quite delightful new gin from master distiller Desmond Payne. More from Dan on what makes 24 so distinct, and the surprising ingredients Mr. Payne was inspired by, next Wednesday.
