Food pairing with gin with 3 dishes for a perfect tasting
Got some gin? You can create a food pairing with gin experience at home by cooking these dishes for your dinner to reveal great flavors.
Gin is a polyvalent spirit able to enhance multiple flavors when paired with food. You can taste gin in cocktails mostly, but there are also sipping gins that you can easily enjoy in a glass on the rocks.
The advantage of gin is that being so rich in botanicals, we can match it with multiple kinds of foods. Think tomatoes, raspberries, lavender, seafood…
