“Just like all the cocktails at Social Still, the G&T is made from scratch in-house,” says owner Adam Flatt. “Although it is in the family of the Gin and Tonic, our ‘G' stands for grapefruit and the ‘T' stands for thyme.”
To craft this cocktail, they start with the award-winning Social Still gin, which Flatt describes as a botanical-forward gin with hints of citrus and juniper. Next, they infuse fresh thyme and grapefruit in a large container for about five days. “Then we create the cocktail from our custom infused gin,” says Flatt.
Though the cocktail goes great with many of the dishes on the menu, Flatt calls the Tuna Tar-Taco “the insider choice.” “The dish has so many complementary flavors, including jicama, mangos, scallions, lime and sriracha,” says Flatt. “It pairs perfectly with the G&T.”
Social Still's gin menu is far from empty, with other cocktail variations going by witty names like The Hopper, Buzzed Worthy and The Social Gimlet, but there's plenty more in the vodka, rum, whiskey and bourbon genres, too.
