GIN SPIKED LON DON FOG recipe on page 95

Give comforting steamed milk a grown-up twist by simply adding tea and a shot of juniper-forward gin. This recipe is great for enter- taining since it’s easily doubled, tripled or quadrupled etc. GREENALL’S ORIGINAL LONDON DRY GIN LCBO 483073, $26.45 Offering slight lemon and coriander on the nose, this clean-tasting gin boasts lots of the spirit’s most quint- essential flavour: juniper. British-dis- tilled, it’s a classic-style gin with a long finish that works well in cocktails that call for London dry gin.
