Not every mixer works with every spirit — and with gin, your choice makes all the difference. A good gin (especially one as smooth as The Old G) doesn’t need much. In fact, the best mixers enhance the botanicals rather than drown them out. Here's a breakdown of what to reach for when you want your gin to hit just right.
Clean, crisp, and zero sugar — soda water is the go-to when you want to let the gin speak. It adds a gentle fizz without interfering with flavor. A twist of lime or cucumber brings it to life.
Tonic and gin go way back. But not all tonic is created equal — most are heavy on sugar. Opt for a dry or diet tonic with natural quinine to keep the flavor sharp and balanced.
For a spicy, warming edge, pair gin with ginger ale or a light ginger beer. It adds depth, especially if your gin has citrus or peppery botanicals. Keep it light to avoid overpowering the spirit.
A splash of lemon, grapefruit, or even blood orange brings out the citrus notes in your gin. Avoid the sugary stuff — fresh-squeezed is best. Use sparingly so the gin stays the star.
Sometimes your best “mixer” is just an ingredient. Muddle cucumber, rosemary, or basil with soda water and you’ve got a garden-fresh pour that complements the gin’s profile beautifully.
Low-sugar kombucha — especially ginger or citrus varieties — makes a great functional mixer. It adds acidity, bubbles, and complexity while keeping the drink light.
We crafted The Old G to be bold yet smooth — meaning you don’t need a heavy mixer to make it shine. Whether it’s a splash of soda or a twist of citrus, our gin holds its own in any combo. No sugar, no shortcuts — just clean botanicals and a clean finish.
