Gin and tonics and our balmy climes are a match made in sweaty heaven, so it’s probably for the best that The White Rabbit’s little backyard garden’s boosting its drinks programme with a gin spin.
The Rabbit Hole has a 15-strong menu of gin, tonic and garnish combinations. A curated selection of gin labels across categories like London Dry and floral are stocked here, along with labels like berry-coloured Sipsmith Sloe ($15) and Bavarian Black Forest-infused Monkey 47 ($22) it calls Complex & Unexpected, and spirits like the olive-tinged Gin Mare ($18) and fresh floral G’Vine Floraison ($16) the bar boldly dubs The New Classics. Each gin’s characteristics are matched to garnishes like rose petals, strawberry slices and basil – some picked from their garden – and are stretched out with a housemade dry tonic.
