Darren Kennedy gives us his twist on the perfect gin & tonic

As part of our Malfy Cocktail Evenings in association with IMAGE, TV presenter Darren Kennedy will demonstrate how to make the perfect G&T. His secret is adding a special ingredient.

A twist on the classic G&T, this flavourful cocktail packs a bittersweet punch. 

Combining orange-infused gin and Mediterranean tonic, the drink balances citrus with bittersweet notes.

Its secret ingredient is Malfy Con Arancia, a rich and complex Italian gin infused with sun-kissed Sicilian blood oranges and Tuscan juniper.
