The World's Best Ready To Drink Gin Cocktails

RTD (ready to drink) cocktails are everywhere at the minute, and, lucky for us, the number of high-quality RTDs on the market is constantly going up! With such a massive selection to choose from we’ve narrowed this article down to some amazing gin-based ones, all of which have won awards at The Global Spirits Masters… and we have to say, we are not surprised in the slightest as they are outstanding. Read on to find out which RTD cocktails are certified amazing!

Berry Brothers and Rudd No. 3 Vesper Martini

 The big winner at this year’s GSM (Global Spirits Masters) in the RTD category was Berry Brothers and Rudd No. 3 Vesper Martini. This Bond cocktail was worked on with Alessandro Palazzi, the head bartender at London’s famed Dukes Bar. Make sure to stir this with plenty of ice before serving, and add a twist of orange!

Slingsby Solo Gooseberry Gin & Mediterranean Tonic

Slingsby Gooseberry Gin is already super delicious, which is why it's no surprise that their premixed serve is just as good! Though their Gooseberry Gin is the award-winning can, their Solo range is massive and well worth a look at!

Horse Guards Negroni Pre-Bottled Cocktail

Another Negroni! It does seem that the Negroni has seen a bit of a boom in popularity recently, and now in pre-bottled form! Horse Guards’ Negroni comes in a large 500ml bottle, meaning you can pour servings of the same cocktail for your whole party without having to pick up a shaker! We do recommend you stir this with ice, however, as you’ll want your Negroni to be SUPER COLD...
