New app helps users create ‘perfect’ G&T

New app Ginventory claims to help G&T fans find their “perfect serve” with an online database featuring more than 1,300 gins.

The app is compatible with both Apple and Android smartphones, and works by pairing the gins with approximately 100 different tonic waters and an accompanying garnish.

Founder, Bjorn Blockx, said: “Gin is in. I’m a gin enthusiast myself, and for years I’ve been searching for the best gin and tonic recipes. All that data has now been merged into one app, so everyone can enjoy the perfect G&T.

“Just search for a gin, and we’ll tell you what tonic and garnish matches best.”

The app was created based on recommendations of hundreds of distilleries, gin bars and retail stores.

The development of a second edition is already underway, which will allow users to add and save their own favourite serve.

Denis Evlard, co-founder of Reed, the design studio behind the app, said: “We have big plans. We’ll be adding user profiles, so you can save, rate and share your favourite gins and serves. You’ll be able to find gin bars on a map, and instantly order gins online. And we want to keep on surprising our users with nice features, so stay tuned.”

Earlier this week new “multi-sensory drinking experience” app Flaviar launched, giving users “a way to taste what’s inside the bottle before trying it” from a database of more than 10,000 spirits.
