Still GIN is the gin created by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. This 70 cl UK bottling is distilled in England and marked 42.5% ABV. Its black, textured bottle is hard to miss, but the liquid has a clear botanical direction of its own: juniper and citrus meet coriander and a floral group that includes jasmine, rose and cherry blossom. The music connection explains the name; it does not need to do the work of describing the taste. This is a distilled gin with enough dry structure for a simple mixed drink.

Juniper opens the palate, then lemon and coriander make the middle brighter. Jasmine and rose sit behind rather than covering the gin in perfume, with cherry blossom adding another light floral shade. A small neat pour is the easiest way to judge how those flowers fit together. A little water softens the first impact and makes the citrus easier to notice. The aim is not an overtly sweet floral drink: dry juniper remains important through the finish and gives the softer notes a firm base.

For a gin and tonic, keep the garnish limited to lemon peel and one edible jasmine flower. Place both with large ice in a low glass and leave a fresh peel and flower beside it. Pour chilled Indian tonic slowly and taste before adding more. Lemon makes the floral side feel cleaner, while the restrained tonic lets the coriander and juniper remain present. The result is direct and easy to repeat, with the jasmine remaining subtle as the ice melts. Let the glass rest for a minute and the quieter floral notes become easier to distinguish.
