Garnish
Small Cinnamon StickThe Store Gin is a London Dry Gin produced by Hawkridge Distillers for The Store Oxford, and it has become a useful SEO bottle because of its 2025 competition visibility. The World Gin Awards named it World's Best London Dry Gin 2025, listing it at 40% ABV, from England, with Hawkridge Distillers as the company behind it. The style is not experimental; its value lies in a polished, award-winning London Dry profile built from familiar gin markers: juniper, coriander, citrus peel, angelica and warm spice.
The tasting profile is classic but not flat. Juniper opens the structure, coriander brings dry spice, and citrus peel gives the first lift. Cassia adds warmth and a slightly woody spice, while angelica keeps the gin dry and grounded. The World Gin Awards tasting note points toward prominent juniper, a hint of sweetness, coriander, woody herbs, subtle chilli-like warmth and bitter tones. In the glass, that reads as a clean London Dry with enough texture to avoid feeling thin at 40% ABV.
For the perfect serve, the goal is to respect the dry gin structure while highlighting its citrus-spice line. East Imperial Burma Tonic Water gives a firm bitter frame without turning the drink sweet. Orange peel repeats the citrus side, and a very restrained cinnamon stick nods to cassia without making the serve taste like winter spice. The result should be direct, dry and aromatic: a grown-up G&T for a gin that wins by balance rather than by loud botanicals. Its SEO interest is therefore matched by a real tasting angle: an award-led gin that still behaves like a reliable, classic London Dry.

Orange Peel Twist
Small Cinnamon StickFill a chilled copa glass with large clear ice cubes.
Pour 5 cl of The Store Gin, then add 15 cl of East Imperial Burma Tonic Water slowly along the inside of the glass.
Stir once or twice.
Express an orange peel over the glass, then add the peel and a small cinnamon stick as a quiet spice accent rather than a dominant garnish.
