The Art of Pairing Gin and Food

At Brogans Way, we’ve mastered the art of crafting gins that complement a variety of dishes, making your Christmas dinner an unforgettable experience. Whether you’re planning a traditional holiday menu or experimenting with new flavours, our gins bring a unique twist to your table. Pairing food with the best gin is a great way to add sophistication and fun to your Christmas celebration.
Perfect Gin Pairings for Your Christmas Menu
1. Roast Turkey and Evening Light Gin
Roast turkey is a Christmas staple, and its mild, savoury flavours pair beautifully with our Evening Light Gin, a contemporary, new-age gin. The citrusy and floral notes of this gin enhance the herbaceous stuffing and cranberry sauce, while its clean finish balances the richness of the turkey. Serve it as a classic G&T with a slice of orange for a zesty touch.
2. Glazed Ham and Hearts Afire Gin
The sweet and smoky flavours of a glazed ham need a gin with a bit of warmth, and our Hearts Afire Gin fits the bill perfectly. This spice-driven dry gin highlights the caramelised glaze while complementing the salty, smoky notes of the ham. Serve it in a Negroni for a bold pairing or with ginger ale for a festive twist.
3. Seafood Starters and Strawberries & Cream Gin
For those starting their meal with fresh prawns, oysters, or smoked salmon, our Strawberries & Cream Gin is an excellent match. Its fruity yet balanced profile cuts through the brininess of seafood, creating a refreshing palate cleanser. Serve it with soda water and a sprig of mint for an elegant starter drink.
4. Christmas Desserts and Pashlova Gin
Finish your meal on a sweet note with our Pashlova Gin, inspired by the classic pavlova dessert. The tropical fruit flavours harmonise with Christmas desserts like fruitcake, pavlova, or even a chocolate Yule log. Pair it with tonic water and garnish with fresh passionfruit for a dessert cocktail your guests will adore.
