Gin is filed away as a summer spirit, which is a waste of the one thing it has that whisky and rum do not: aromatic clarity. Juniper sits naturally beside clove and cinnamon, and the citrus botanicals lift heavy spice rather than adding to it.
Warm gin serves are also dry, which after a few hours of mulled wine and hot chocolate is a relief rather than another dessert. Most are built in the glass in five minutes, one at a time, with no pan and no half-bottle of wine committed.
One rule: heat the mixer, never the gin. Warm the juice, water or cordial to just below a simmer, take it off the heat, then add the spirit last.
