KO Tonic R & Cuc Can 330ml
Crack one open and your gin suddenly has a personality. Crystal clear with a faint pink lean, tiny tight bubbles, and a smell of just-cut roses with cool cucumber riding over it. Floral, fresh, properly grown-up. No booze in here at all, so it's just as happy on its own over a big pile of ice on a night you're driving. Pour it tonight and you'll feel like you hired a bartender.
First hit is rose, soft and pretty, not the soapy potpourri kind. Then cucumber slides in cool and green and keeps it fresh instead of perfumey. Underneath sits a clean quinine bite, that gentle dry tonic-water tingle that stops the whole thing going sweet. Fine little bubbles, a light touch of sweetness, and a dry floral finish. Because there are no artificial sweeteners or flavours in it, the rose and cucumber taste like the real thing. Spoiler: they are.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This is Kenyan Originals, the Nairobi craft-drinks crew that started in 2018 out of an old shipping container and now makes ciders, gins, iced teas and tonics in-house. The whole point is real local ingredients: the quinine is African, the roses are dried and picked up in Naivasha, and the cucumber is properly crushed in. It's all infused, blended and canned on-site, with no preservatives, artificial flavours or sweeteners anywhere near it. Properly Kenyan, properly made.
