We recommend adding a classic Indian Dry Tonic Water.
An orange zest and/or a sprig of rosemary makes the drink perfect.
Pure on ice! Alternatively with an orange zest or a squeeze of lemon.
Als “Navy Strength” bezeichnet man Alkohol der mindestens 57% Alkohol hat.

Die britische Royal Navy besetzte im Jahr 1655 Jamaica, aber es gab viele Kranke und Verletzte in der Bevölkerung sowie in den eigenen Reihen. Viele der englische Matrosen waren dazu psychisch angeschlagen. Die Royal Navy startete daraufhin ein Programm um die Mannschaft zu beruhigen. Die Matrosen bekamen nun täglich Rum anstatt französischem Brandy. Damit der Rum, die tägliche Ration von einem halben englischen Pint, nicht verwässert war, wurde er auf Schießpulver gegossen und angezündet. Hatte der Rum über 57% Alkohol (oder 100UK Proof) brannte das Schießpulver. Das war der Beweis für einen Navy-Strength Rum. Denn es gab damals noch keinen Alkoholmeter um den Alkoholgehalt zu messen.

Westlich von London, also in der Karibik, gab es den Rum. Östlich von London, Richtung Indien, war der Wacholderschnaps, also Gin, sehr beliebt. Und so wurde auch gleich der Navy-Strength Gin ins Leben gerufen.
Navy-Strength bedeutet also mindestens 57% Alkohol. Unser Navy-Strength hat nachweislich 69% Alkohol.
Aufgrund seines hohen Alkoholgehalts weist der Navy Strength Gin deutliche Geschmacksunterschiede zu anderen Gin-Sorten auf.

Alle diese starken Gins haben aber ein höchst intensives und natürlich kräftiges Aroma. Daher eignen sie sich auch hervorragend für Cocktails jeglicher Art. Auch pur auf Eis oder eben als Gin & Tonic schmeckt er hervorragend. Probieren Sie es aus!

Originally, today’s cult drink was called “Genever” or “Genièvre” after the Dutch or French term for juniper. Later, the drink was brought to England and it evolved into the English name gin.
No, the gin retains its color.
The Blue Drop Gin will be slightly lighter in color as the addition of tonic dilutes the gin.
Of course, this also applies to the Blue Drop Navy Strength.
Presumably, the gin originally came from the Netherlands or the present Benelux countries. King William III exported the gin to England in the 17th century.
The Dutch physician Franciscus Sylvius de la Boe produced the juniper schnapps in the 16th century.
Originally, the genever was intended as a remedy and medicinal drink.
Distilled spirits such as gin, whisky or vodka are usually always vegan.
We write on this page about gin, about the pleasure of drinking. About things you are not allowed to do until you are 18. So why don’t we have an age check pop-up with a raised finger to point out that all this stuff is for adults only? Now what if a 15 year old comes to this site and because of the lack of a pop up thinks he is allowed to be here and has every right to learn about delicious gins? What if this poor kid – let’s call him Max – goes out and gets drunk because he thinks, based on the lack of pop-up, that alcohol is freely available to teenagers after all?
What if he went to the next store and told the clerk that there was no age check on cold-drop.com and therefore it should be clear that he was allowed to buy alcohol now? What if the seller believes him and suddenly offers his liquor to young people on the street? How can we possibly bear this risk here? Max, how could you let us seduce you?
Age check? Does not bring anything!
Let’s face it, any reasonable young person clicks “Yes, I am 18 years or older” when the prompt appears. Never in the history of mankind has such a simple protective mechanism achieved anything. Breweries, distilleries and liquor sellers on the net know this too, but age checks are mandatory for website operators, depending on alcohol sales and search engine policies. That’s just to answer the question “Why are they doing this if it’s no good?”
Effective protection of minors requires sensible age verification with the aid of post-identification procedures or similar mechanisms. That’s why we also make sure that our shipping service provider has effective youth protection measures in place to ensure that no liquor is delivered to minors. Because: We support youth protection and advocate a responsible approach to alcohol.
Age rating? This is the right way!
So if at this point you minors were hoping for a flaming speech in favor of lowering the age limit for alcohol, we have to disappoint you. We fear that none of you will adhere to it, and we didn’t exactly wait until your 18th birthday ourselves. But we probably would have partied a lot more often, and probably would have crashed in the process, if we’d just been sold the hard stuff at 16.
t took us a while to really enjoy schnapps and spirits instead of just pouring them down our throats, to spend 40 euros on a bottle of gin with a clear conscience. In retrospect, however, many an evening would have been much nicer if we had left it at two or three particularly tasty glasses at the price of a complete drunk. Granted: Some evenings were good, just as they were. Mostly, though, because someone was always sober enough to take care of the rest.
Yes, we know ourselves that at 18, the switch doesn’t suddenly flip and you turn into a responsible adult. We also know that many a 15-year-old can be significantly ahead of many a 30-year-old mentally and that age cannot always be the decisive criterion for trust. But the legislator has to draw the line somewhere. And we support that too!
It doesn’t matter whether you agree with us or not, whether you drink legally or secretly in the trailer behind the youth center. Kennt euer Limit, lasst die Karre stehen, kommt gut heim.
