This Salty Gin Makes a Superb "Dirty G&T"

"The idea isn't exactly new; Fanny Chu's Dirty Martini Highball has been a reader-favorite recipe on Punch for years, and I've come across olive lemonades and dirty spritzes, too."

"What makes the cocktail click is a new-to-me gin from Fishers in Suffolk. The distillery is named after fishers; the bottle's design is meant to resemble a net."

"I've often worked in bars where we made our own saline to add to cocktails, since a dash of salt can really make other flavors pop."

"Delany says Fishers would work well in a classic dirty Martini, a Gibson, or even as a surprising twist in other cocktails."

The Dirty G&T is a refreshing alternative for dirty Martini enthusiasts, featuring salty gin and olive brine. Inspired by a visit to Dean's pub, the drink's flavor profile is enhanced by Fishers gin, which incorporates coastal botanicals like rock samphire and bog myrtle. The head bartender, Laurel Delany, notes that a dash of salt can elevate cocktail flavors, making Fishers gin a versatile choice for various cocktails, including dirty Martinis and Gibsons. This drink captures the essence of summer and seaside relaxation.
