How to Make a Spicy Gin & Tonic

A Classic with a Bold Twist

The gin & tonic is a timeless favorite.
But add a little heat, and it becomes something unforgettable.

A spicy gin & tonic keeps everything you love about the classic — the freshness, the citrus, the bubbles — and adds warmth that lingers on the palate. Here's how to make one at home.

The Easiest Way: Start with the Right Gin

You can add chili to any gin.
But the cleanest way is to start with a gin that's already spiced.

Latin Spice is distilled in Italy with Latin botanicals and a distinctive note of Calabrian chili. The heat is built in — warm, balanced, never harsh — so your drink tastes refined, not improvised.

The Recipe

Simple to make. Built to surprise.

Spicy Gin & Tonic
50 ml Latin Spice · 150 ml tonic water · a slice of lime · a thin round of fresh chili (optional).
Fill the glass with ice, pour the gin, top with tonic. Stir once and let the warmth come through.

Want more heat? Add the fresh chili and let it infuse for a minute before drinking. Prefer it subtle? The gin alone brings enough spice.

Take It Further: The Spicy Mule

Love the heat? Try this next.

Spicy Mule
50 ml Latin Spice · 15 ml fresh lime juice · ginger beer · lime wedge.
Build over ice, top with ginger beer, stir gently. The ginger and chili play beautifully together.

Why It Works

The Calabrian chili adds character without breaking the balance.
The result:

  • a warm, spicy signature
  • a smooth, refined body
  • a bold yet elegant finish

No harshness. Just depth and personality.

More Than a Drink

A premium gin is not just about taste.
Latin Spice represents:

  • design
  • lifestyle
  • emotion

For those who dare to taste something bolder.
Latin Spice is the way to enjoy it.
