Win a fabulous summer sipping hamper from The Whisky Exchange!

If you think gin is the only spirit to pair with tonic, think again. This month’s prize from The Whisky Exchange shines the spotlight on some often surprising, aperitif, spirit and mixer pairings to enjoy with friends when the sun is out. Each spirit comes with two matching mixers. THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED.

Tequila & Pink Grapefruit

Tapatio Blanco Tequila – A world away from your salt'n'lemon, burn-and-gurn nightmares. Spicy, with a delicious 100% agave grilled-pepper flavour. Pair with London Essence Pink Grapefruit Crafted Soda and a wedge of lime for a delicious combination that tastes just like summer.

Aperitif & Indian Tonic

New AKER English Rose Aperitif - Fruity, refreshing made with a combination of rosé wines from Chapel Down, raspberry eau-de-vie from Capreolus and English botanicals. Pair with Fever-Tree Premium Indian Tonic Water for a delicious and refreshing summery blossom-scented drink.

Rum & Pineapple Soda

Black Tot Rum - don’t be put off by the colour of this rum, this is fresh and fruity. Pair with Three Cents Pineapple Soda for a fabulously refreshing long drink, ideal to enjoy when the sun is shining.

Sherry & 7UP

Sherry is for life, not just for Christmas. Tio Pepe Sherry at time of year is perfect. Its light body and apple, citrus and almond flavours is excellent when paired with mixers for a refreshing long drink. Pair with 7UP for a must-try pairing, and when you try it you’ll know why! And don’t forget a sprig of mint.

Whisky & Soda

Whisky-lovers shouldn’t be put off pairing whisky with other mixers, (it wasn’t made just for Coca-Cola). Pairing whisky with mixers can bring out the sweetness and liveliness of whisky so you can taste more complex flavours. Not to mention it makes whisky far more drinkable on a hot summer’s day. Nikka Days hosts an array of floral and zesty flavours with a touch of peat smoke. When paired with London Essence White Peach & Jasmine Soda it brings out the delicious flavours making a refreshing highball. Add a twist of lemon for garnish.

Pisco & Tonic

Hailing from Peru and Chile, pisco is distilled from wine and is fresher and fruitier than aged European brandies. Barsol Quebranta Pisco is a Peruvian pisco with fruity and citrus notes and pairs wonderfully with tonic and a slice of fresh lemon.

The closing date for the competition is 11.59pm GMT on Wednesday 31st 2022 and you must live in the UK and be over 18 to enter.
