This first event will focus on different […]
Deux Frères Gin have a new bottle design
It’s not unusual for a gin brand to get a new look. But that an established brand creates a design-protected bottle is anything but ordinary. In today’s special newsletter, I am pleased to be able to tell you the news as a primeur. Florian and Gian Grundböck are the brothers behind the “Deux Frères” brand. […]

Gin is popular! Why exactly?
Gin has been the fastest growing spirit for a few years. Each country has its own timetable, i.e. a starting point from which a small to large gin wave emerged in the country. Usually, local gin brands are at the beginning, paving the way for many to follow. This happened in Germany around 2010 with […]
The GIN Experience Festival is coming back!
GIN Experience Festival 2023 A few weeks ago, we started looking into the edition of the GIN Experience Festival at the 25hours Hotel Langstrasse. The first planning meetings with the hotel took place. And then Omikron came along. Well. Of course we don’t know what will happen in the next weeks. But we do know […]

Gin & Art
Create art at home and have the artist in your living room online during the session. Not a bad idea. After all, we are often at home these days and enjoy our four walls. We like it even better when we can do something nice. Together with the Artnight we organize a Gin & Art evening on […]

Best gin and tonic combinations
With the publication of “GIN – The Book” at the end of October 2020, the desire arose among friends that they get the gin and tonic descriptions converted into tasting. This was the occasion to put together gin and tonic boxes with products from the book. Most of the gin descriptions in the first edition […]
Today, October 19, is World Gin and Tonic Day. If that’s not a reason to celebrate.
Today the long drink composition Gin & Tonic can be celebrated – in German usage simply gin and tonic. How a classic drink was made from both original medical products is a long story or is it? There are countless myths surrounding this combination. We leave it that way today and say #cheers to all […]

No big events from about GIN in 2020
COVID-19 is on everyone’s mind. Due to the measures taken by the Federal Council in Switzerland, events are currently not allowed. Gastronomy closed. Clearly from next week it goes slowly back to the new everyday life with the virus. Because defeated is COVID-19 then not. This means that if events are allowed to take place […]
When is Gin, Gin?
Gin is the same as juniper? Not quite, because in order to be allowed to declare your gin, you need another plant ingredient besides juniper, that is, a botanical. The literature speaks of 120’s possible ingredients found in the world’s gin diversity. A current trend is to make a gin that tastes good with as […]
Multimedia GIN Page
Gin belongs to a good bar menu as the tennis ball to tennis. Even if we love tennis, we prefer to write about gin and tonic. We start our multimedia story with the part of Gingeschichte in the bar. How has the gin developed over the years? How did Gin manage to come back after […]
Gin tonic and mosquitoes
How do we like to sit outside in the summer and enjoy the evenings with friends at the lake? If there were not the stupid mosquitoes and their stings. We see this with our friends. We each wondered if our blood does not taste the bloodsucker. Now we know why: Good News: Gin & Tonic […]
Preparations for a gin-kitchen party
Juniper has been part of the kitchen for years. Those who enjoy wild game in autumn time have often come into contact with the dark berries. Whether in sauerkraut or meat, juniper is perfect. The most creative people are in the kitchen. Of course not always. Many things are repeated and some people never want […]
How medicine became a trend product
Which tonic would you like? A question that is asked again and again in a good bar around the globe today. Of course, the good bartender recommends the right tonic from his point of view. Guests want the perfect mix of GIN and tonic. The GIN market has grown steadily and continuously over the last […]
It is hay fever time in Tokyo
In Japan, the hay fever epidemic is raging – as bad as ever before, as friends report. Somehow blatant, because in the land of the rising sun, this year is not a fattening year, as we had 2018 in Europe. No, it’s a homemade problem! Prior to 20-30 years, cedars were planted in Japan’s […]
Happy Birthday Hendrick’s GIN
Everyone has their own GIN story. We try to throw these stories boulvardesk into big pots, because if we meet colleagues from the similar age war, then there are three camps: – GINlovers– GINhaters (can only vaguely remember GIN & Tonic evenings)– and who have never drunk alcohol or just stopped. Today we address everyone […]
