A different take on a gin and tonic, a Double Juniper, made with Dry Soda’s Juniper Berry.
My drink of choice is a gin and tonic. It is my go-to, never fails, always works drink. I love gin. Sometimes my gin and tonics taste a little too much like tonic and not enough like gin. When I was at Homegoods recently I spotted some Dry Juniper Berry Soda. I have such a love affair with Dry Soda. Remember when I made Dry Vanilla Bean Elderflower Cooler? Or how about the Gin Cucumber Cooler? So, to say I was thrilled to find the Dry Juniper Berry Soda was an understatement! It’s one that I haven’t been able to find at my local grocery stores.
On the Dry Soda website, I found Double Juniper. Which is basically a gin and tonic, except you sub the Dry Juniper Berry Soda for the tonic. Oh my. So good. The subtle flavor of the soda perfectly compliments the gin, allowing all the gin goodness to shine through. Loved it!! To make it even better, it’s only 55 calories and doesn’t have that syrupy sweetness that tonics can have.
Move over gin and tonic, I have a new favorite gin cocktail!
Ingredients
- 5 oz Dry Juniper Berry Soda
- 2 oz gin
- lime wedge
- ice
Instructions
- Shake gin and ice in a cocktail shaker and strain the gin into a tall glass filled with ice. Top with Dry Juniper Berry Soda. Squeeze the lime in, give it a quick stir and garnish with the lime.
- Enjoy.

I’m with you – gin and tonic is the best way to go! I am so finding juniper soda to make this!
This looks great! I love Dry Soda, too. They make a blood orange one that’s fantastical!
Sounds great! Those sodas are interestingly different and make excellent mixers.
Glad I finally got a cocktail to add!
This sounds so well , I would love to serve it to my friends in my cocktail dispenser made by these guys here: http://www.thebeergiraffe.com/en/what-is-a-beer-tower/
Uh-oh. Bluwaterguy can NEVER see this post. He’s right there with you on the G&T. If he sees this we will have cases of this soda delivered from Amazon and I will have to clean out the garage to store them! 🙂 Your cocktails ROCK ~ love Tipsy Tuesday! Bwg ~~~

There’s nothing like a good gin and tonic – and yours looks wonderful. I was really interested to read about the Dry Soda range. Thank you for sharing with us at the Hearth and Soul Hop, Pam.
