Holidays are the perfect time to try new cocktails. Why not elevate your gin and tonic to a Tanqueray and Tonic with tips from Oto&rsquo;s David Abalayan?

The holidays are just around the corner, and its celebration calls for an enhanced ambience. Sometimes there is a need for a special experience when it comes to making your holiday gatherings a memorable one. Tanqueray is no stranger to bringing life into each and every occasion, as the award-winning gin brand has established itself as a staple in each bar cart.
Being at the heart of the flourishing gin scene, Tanqueray is known for their quality and craft&ndash;being a cut above the rest for being one of the best-selling gin, as well as being the bartenders&rsquo; overall favorite spirit. Their gin sparks innovation&ndash;honing their beverage to be a cultured creator&rsquo;s drink of choice. Without a doubt, Tanqueray levels up your usual gin and tonic and turns it into a Tanqueray and Tonic&ndash;a T&amp;T.

Tanqueray recently hosted their Christmas Aperitivo Tablescapes Workshop with Gathered Creative Co., a floristry, prop, and events and space styling company. At the forefront of this event was none other than OTO&rsquo;s Head Bartender David Abalayan, Diageo World Class Philippines Bartender of the Year 2019, who taught us how to add our own spin to the classic T&amp;T. &ldquo;Tanqueray is very versatile when it comes to cocktails, it&rsquo;s a great base that works well with different mixers, syrups and garnishes&rdquo; David recommended.
