WATTSHOT Premium Flavoured Shot is a French-bottled, gin-based spirit at 37.5% ABV, designed first as a chilled shot but still usable in longer drinks. The base is a London Dry-style gin made with eight botanicals, then flavoured with cherry and 5% cherry juice. A proprietary herbal component brings the tingling sensation that defines the brand's electric identity.

The flavour is more layered than the word shot might suggest. Cherry gives the first recognizable fruit note, but tasting references also point toward dark chocolate, marzipan, sticky orange and pepper. That combination explains why the drink can feel playful without being flat: fruit and sweetness arrive early, then spice and the herbal tingle clean up the finish. It works best as a gin-based flavoured spirit, not as a classic dry gin.

For the associated gin and tonic, pour 5 cl of WATTSHOT over clear ice, add 10 cl of Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water and garnish with a fresh strawberry plus a rhubarb ribbon. Strawberry supports the red-fruit side, while rhubarb adds the tartness needed to keep the cherry from becoming too sweet. Serve very cold and use a firm tonic pour so the drink remains lively rather than syrupy.

WATTSHOT becomes more convincing when its category is named clearly. It is not a quiet sipping gin; it is a high-energy, gin-based flavoured shot that can be stretched into a tonic serve. In that register, the strawberry and rhubarb garnish makes sense: it translates the shot into a colder, brighter long drink.
