The curious, yet marvelous, infusions of rose and cucumber imbue our spirit with its uniquely balanced flavour resulting in an impeccably smooth distinct gin. So whether it’s her colourful wardrobe, her quirky one-liners, and wild imagination – gear up for a heartfelt reunion with these beautiful gin cocktails to soak it all in!?

And well our ‘Guy next door’, Ross Geller is the sophisticated yet simple friend who is known for his intelligence and refined taste. He represents a character that is simple yet punchy, sweet yet strong and on the lighter side gets a little too attached to things (remember his sandwich). Well, we could get attached to Ross himself and of course, to G&G of Grant’s Distinction which is just the simple and punchy taste you can’t escape. We wish the dinosaurs were also alive to appreciate this intelligent drink!
