As the days get brighter, it’s the perfect time to revisit a timeless classic — the gin and tonic. This April 9th, we celebrate National Gin and Tonic Day not just with a cocktail, but with culture, history, and real craftsmanship. The Old G is here to pour into all of it — literally.
Every year on April 9th, gin lovers around the world raise a glass to one of the most iconic drinks ever poured: the gin and tonic. While the exact origin of this “holiday” is unclear, the purpose is crystal clear — it’s a day to toast tradition, simplicity, and the drink that balances botanical depth with effervescent charm.
Whether you're a lifelong G&T fan or just discovering gin for the first time, National Gin and Tonic Day is a moment to celebrate. And at The Old G, we’re celebrating with purpose and premium flavor.
The gin and tonic has roots in 19th-century colonial India. British officers stationed abroad were using quinine — extracted from the bark of the cinchona tree — to treat and prevent malaria. Quinine is famously bitter, so to make it more palatable, they added water, lime, sugar... and gin.
That mix evolved into what we now call the gin and tonic. Once born out of necessity, today it’s celebrated for its balance, flavor, and versatility — a perfect blend of history and refreshment.
National Gin and Tonic Day is about more than a recipe. It’s a reminder that classic cocktails evolve with the culture. Whether you like your gin and tonic bold and botanical or clean and citrusy, there’s room to explore.
From premium London Dry gins to herb-forward craft varieties, and from old-school tonics to modern zero-sugar sodas, the combinations are endless. This day is about experimenting, sharing, and celebrating the cocktail that never goes out of style.
At The Old G, we believe gin should be as real as the people who drink it. Our Black-owned London Dry Gin is distilled nine times, made with organic botanicals, and oxygen-infused for a smooth finish that never bites.
No added sugar. No fluff. Just clean, layered flavor built to mix or sip. Whether you take your G&T with lime, cucumber, or just a few rocks, The Old G brings balance, authenticity, and craft to every pour.
Here’s how we do it:
Better yet? Bring your people together. G&T is a crowd-pleaser that deserves good company.
National Gin and Tonic Day is about more than just mixing a drink. It’s about honoring a classic, refreshing tradition while redefining it for a new generation.
Whether you're pouring it for nostalgia or for the vibes, make it meaningful. With The Old G, you're not just drinking gin — you’re sipping history, community, and craft. Cheers to keeping it real on April 9th and every day after.
Ever heard gin called “Mother’s Ruin”? That nickname isn’t just catchy—it’s a throwback to a wild chapter in gin’s history. Back in 18th century England, gin was like the bad boy of booze, stirring up all sorts of drama in society, especially among women and families. Today, we’re diving into that gritty past, but also showing how gin, especially at places like The Old G, is shaking off those old-school shadows.
Everybody’s got that go-to drink, but ever wonder what yours is telling the world about you? Whether your drink of choice is deep-rooted in tradition or just a casual pick, it might just reveal a slice of your personality. Whether you’re gearing up to break the ice at your next house party or just vibing to some self-discovery, knowing what your favorite drink says about you can be pretty enlightening—yeah, it’s deeper than you think!
The Old G Gin is unlike any other. It’s smooth, with no burn, no bite, and none of the bitterness that defines traditional gin. Its bold flavor profile stands out, whether sipped neat or mixed into a cocktail.
