Up your cocktail game with World Class spirits

-

W e’ve all been spending more time than usual at home this year. And all those extra hours around the place have led some of us to take up a new hobby or learn a new skill—and no, loading and unloading the dishwasher doesn’t count. Maybe it’s trying to recreate your favourite restaurant dishes instead of ordering takeout, or taking up running to stay fit. Maybe you’ve decided to start writing that book you’ve been meaning to write—or at least reading the book that’s been on your coffee table for years. There’s nothing wrong with being ambitious, but like any goal, it’s also important to set realistic targets for success. So if you’ve decided to focus on upping your home mixology game in the absence of your favourite bar, there’s a simple way to go from making ho-hum cocktails to all-star libations, and it starts with World Class spirits like Ketel One vodka and Tanqueray No. TEN gin.

Whether you’re mixing drinks for members of your household or gifting to those with whom you would ordinarily celebrate in person, these spirits mean an instant glow-up for any cocktail. The smooth taste of Ketel One is backed by 325 years of craftsmans­hip— that’s the late 1600s, if you’ve also lost all track of time this year—by 11 generation­s of the Nolet family, who clearly know a thing or two about vodka. And the refreshing tang of Tanqueray No. TEN is the product of a whole lotta citrus—including perfectly ripe grapefruit­s, oranges and limes—and carefully selected chamomile flowers alongside other botanicals, resulting in a uniquely balanced gin.

When your spirits are this exquisite, your next batch of cocktails will be too. See how easy it was to level-up your cocktail game? If only mastering the other skills on your 2020 wishlist were this simple.

Why not try one of these recipes to let the World Class quality of Ketel One and Tanqueray No. TEN shine through.
