Best Gin Delivery in Singapore

Gin has moved well beyond the standard bottle at the back of the drinks cabinet. From juniper-forward London dry gin to citrusy Japanese styles and complex botanical bottles, there’s plenty to explore and plenty of ways to drink it.

The trick isn’t chasing whatever happens to be labelled the world’s best gin. It’s finding a bottle that suits your palate, your favourite cocktails and, crucially, the tonic waiting in your fridge. Here’s how to narrow down the gin brands worth adding to your next Singapore order.

Best Gin To Buy In Singapore

The best gin is the one that works for how you actually drink it. Some bottles are dependable G&T territory, while others bring floral notes, bright citrus, herbs or spice that make them worth exploring in simpler serves.

Roku Gin for a Japanese botanical twist

Roku Gin is a good place to start if you want something different from classic London gin. Made by Suntory, Roku combines eight traditional gin botanicals with six Japanese botanicals: sakura flower, sakura leaf, yuzu peel, Sencha tea, Gyokuro tea and sansho pepper. “Roku” itself means six in Japanese.

That combination gives the gin floral, citrus and gently peppery dimensions rather than making juniper do all the talking. The House of Suntory describes yuzu as the top note, with sakura and green tea contributing to the aroma and sansho pepper appearing in the finish.

For an easy serve, pour it over plenty of ice with tonic and a slice of ginger. Keep the garnish restrained and let those botanicals earn their spot in the glass.

Tanqueray London Dry Gin for the classics

When your plans involve a straightforward gin and tonic, gin Martini or Negroni, Tanqueray London Dry Gin keeps things firmly in classic territory.

Its botanical profile centres on four botanicals: juniper, coriander, angelica and liquorice. Tanqueray describes its aroma as piney and peppery, with herbal and floral characteristics.

That juniper-forward character is exactly why this style is so useful behind the bar. You don't need a complicated garnish or an elaborate gin tasting session to figure it out. Ice, tonic and fresh citrus will get you there.

Beyond the familiar gin brands

Once you know what you like, there’s a much bigger world gin map to explore. Monkey 47, Citadelle, Gin Mare, Sipsmith, The Botanist, Hendrick’s Gin, Beefeater London Dry Gin, Bluecoat and Drumshanbo all take gin in different directions.

That doesn't automatically make an artisanal or pricier craft gin better. It simply gives gin enthusiasts more styles of gin to explore, from herbaceous and citrus-forward gin to floral, perfumy and spice-led expressions.

How To Choose The Best Gin For You

You don't need to memorise every botanical used by every distillery. Start with three things: the flavours you enjoy, the cocktails you actually make and how adventurous you want your next bottle to be.

Start with your palate

Love that unmistakably piney gin character? Look towards a classic London dry gin such as Tanqueray or Beefeater. Juniper remains front and centre, often supported by citrus peel, coriander and earthy or spicy botanicals.

Prefer something brighter? Look for descriptions mentioning yuzu, grapefruit, orange peel, lemon or bright citrus. Roku is one route, while other contemporary gin brands can push further into zesty or citrusy territory.

For something softer or more aromatic, look for floral and herbaceous notes. Ingredients such as cucumber, flowers, tea and Mediterranean herbs can take the profile in a very different direction from traditional juniper and citrus.

Match the gin to the cocktail

Think about what you're pouring before you buy.

A classic London dry is an easy starting point for a G&T, gin Martini or Negroni because its juniper character tends to remain noticeable alongside other ingredients. A lighter botanical gin can work beautifully in a French 75, while a citrus-forward gin can keep a simple highball lively without demanding half the fruit bowl as garnish.

And don't assume every bottle labelled gin is interchangeable. Navy strength gin is higher-strength, while sloe gin is a sweetened fruit-based gin liqueur. Check the ABV and style before pouring.

Read the botanicals, not just the bottle

The botanical list can tell you considerably more than an impressive label or fancy hexagonal bottle.

Juniper points towards piney character. Citrus peel suggests brightness. Orris root commonly plays a supporting role in a botanical recipe, while cassia bark and spices such as cardamom can steer some gins towards warmer aromas.

The numbers can vary dramatically too. Bombay Sapphire uses 10 botanicals, while Roku combines six Japanese botanicals with eight traditional ones. That's useful context, but more botanicals don't automatically mean a better gin. Balance matters more than botanical arithmetic. 

Best Gin For Gin And Tonic

A good gin and tonic is wonderfully uncomplicated, which also means there isn't much room for mediocre pairing decisions. Gin, tonic, ice and garnish each affect the final glass, so choose them as a team rather than treating tonic as fizzy background noise.

Classic London dry for a crisp G&T

For a traditional gin and tonic, a classic London dry keeps things refreshingly straightforward. Gordon’s London Dry Gin fits neatly into that role.

Serve it in a tall glass with plenty of ice, chilled tonic and fresh lime. You don’t need an elaborate garnish the simple combination lets the familiar dry gin character stay present alongside the tonic.

If you prefer a shorter drink, start with around 50 ml gin and 100–150 ml tonic, then adjust the balance to your palate.

Botanical gin for a more distinctive G&T

When you want to move beyond the classic London dry profile, Strange Nature Gin gives your G&T a different direction. This New Zealand gin is made from spirit derived from Sauvignon Blanc wine production, making it an interesting option among Clynk Singapore’s current gin selection.

Try it with Mediterranean tonic and a restrained lemon-and-thyme garnish. The tonic matters here: pouring too much can overwhelm the character of the gin and introduce more bitterness or astringency than you want.

Start with less tonic, taste, then add more if needed. Much easier than trying to rescue an over-diluted G&T.

Australian gin for something a little different

For gin lovers keen to explore another origin, Mary St Sydney Dry Gin brings an Australian bottle into the mix. Rather than buying another variation from the same familiar brand, it gives you a chance to switch up both producer and gin style.

For your first G&T with a new bottle, keep things simple: plenty of ice, chilled tonic and a modest citrus garnish. Lemon or grapefruit peel is enough to add a fresh lift without turning the glass into a fruit salad.

Clynk Singapore also lists Vickers Australia Contemporary Purple Gin offering another Australian option for anyone looking beyond conventional clear gin.

Ultimately, the best gin for a gin and tonic doesn't need an award, a complicated backstory or dedicated Glencairn glasses. Clynk’s range gives you options spanning classic London dry, New Zealand and Australian gin pick the style that sounds good, get the tonic cold and build your G&T from there.

How Much Gin Should I Use In A Gin And Tonic?

Getting the ratio right matters more than piling on fancy garnishes. You want enough gin for its botanical character to come through, while leaving room for the tonic to add dilution, carbonation and bitterness without taking over the glass.

Start with a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio

A useful starting point is 50 ml of gin with 100–150 ml of tonic water. That gives you either a 1:2 or 1:3 gin-to-tonic ratio, depending on how pronounced you want the gin to taste.

From there, adjust rather than treating the ratio as sacred. A juniper-heavy British gin may stand up well to more tonic, while a subtler craft gin could benefit from a shorter pour. The tonic matters too: some mixers bring more bitterness and perceived astringency than others.

Fill the glass generously with ice first, add the gin, then pour chilled tonic slowly to preserve the fizz. Finish with a garnish that actually suits the bottle lime, grapefruit, cucumber or a simple citrus peel all have their moments.

If it’s your first gin and tonic, 50 ml gin and 150 ml tonic is an easy place to begin. You can always tweak the next one. Gin lovers rarely arrive at their favourite ratio without a little field research.

Easy Gin Cocktails To Make At Home

You don't need a trolley full of bar equipment to put gin to work. Among the many gins on the market, a versatile dry gin can cover several classic drinks with just a few extra bottles and fresh ingredients.

Gin and tonic

The obvious one, but obvious for good reason. Strange Nature Gin is an interesting Clynk option when you want your G&T to move beyond the standard London dry profile.

Fill a glass with plenty of ice, add 50 ml Strange Nature Gin, then top with 100–150 ml Mediterranean tonic water. Finish with lemon and a small sprig of thyme. Start at the shorter end of the tonic pour and add more to taste, you want fizz and freshness without drowning the gin.

For another direction, Vickers Australia Contemporary Purple Gin brings blackcurrant flavour, subtle sweetness and fresh forest-berry aromas according to Clynk's tasting notes. That makes it better suited to a fruitier, contemporary G&T than the classic juniper-heavy template.

Negroni

For something richer and bittersweet, Gordon’s London Dry Gin is the most natural fit among Clynk's listed bottles. Its classic dry-gin style makes more sense here than reaching for a sweeter gin liqueur.

Combine 30 ml Gordon’s London Dry Gin, 30 ml Campari and 30 ml sweet vermouth. Stir with plenty of ice, strain over fresh ice and finish with orange peel.

The equal-parts recipe also makes this one refreshingly easy to remember. Three bottles, three equal pours, one very respectable reason to own a mixing glass.

Gin Martini

A Martini puts the spirit firmly in the spotlight, so Tanqueray Gin is a practical match from Clynk's range. Clynk currently lists Tanqueray among its gin offerings.

Try 60 ml Tanqueray Gin with 10 ml dry vermouth. Stir both with plenty of ice until properly chilled, then strain into a chilled Martini glass. Finish with a lemon twist or olive.

You can increase the vermouth if you prefer a softer Martini. Unlike a G&T, there isn't much mixer here to hide behind, so this is the cocktail for actually getting acquainted with your gin.

French 75

For the French 75, Mary St Sydney Dry Gin is the Clynk bottle I'd use rather than one of the sweeter Mary St gin liqueurs. Keeping the base spirit dry gives you more control once lemon, sugar and sparkling wine join the party.

Shake 30 ml Mary St Sydney Dry Gin, 15 ml fresh lemon juice and 10–15 ml sugar syrup with ice. Strain into a flute or coupe, top with chilled sparkling wine and finish with a lemon twist.

Clynk also sells Mary St Raspberry Gin Liqueur, but at 20% ABV with a distinctly sweet raspberry profile, it's a different proposition from a standard dry gin.

Add 45 ml Mary St Raspberry Gin Liqueur and 20 ml fresh lemon juice to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake until properly chilled, then strain into a flute or coupe.

Top with 60–90 ml chilled dry sparkling wine, pouring gently to keep the bubbles lively. Finish with a lemon twist or, if you want to lean into the berry profile, a single fresh raspberry.

Skip the sugar syrup on the first pour. The gin liqueur already brings sweetness, so adding the usual syrup could make the cocktail overly sweet. Taste first; if you genuinely want it sweeter, add just 5 ml sugar syrup next time.

If you're following a classic French 75 recipe, stick with the Sydney Dry Gin rather than swapping the two bottle-for-bottle.

You can experiment further once the basics are covered. Contemporary gin making has produced everything from Scottish gin featuring local botanicals to rhubarb-led expressions and bottles made with organic botanicals. Different distillation and botanical choices give you plenty of room to change the character of familiar cocktails without learning an entirely new recipe.

What To Consider When Ordering Gin Delivery In Singapore

Ordering gin online saves you the bottle-shop run, but don't make price your only filter. Availability, delivery timing and where the order is going can matter just as much when you're trying to get drinks sorted for a particular evening.

Check delivery speed before ordering

Same-day sounds reassuring, but don't assume every bottle, address or order time qualifies for the same delivery window. Check the delivery option shown at checkout, particularly if you're buying for dinner, a party or a last-minute G&T situation.

For Clynk, check the current delivery estimate and fee at checkout before confirming a time-sensitive order.

Check the bottle size and ABV

Two bottles can look similarly priced online while containing different volumes or having substantially different ABVs. Check both before comparing value.

It's particularly important when shopping beyond standard dry gin. Higher-strength styles such as navy strength gin aren't directly comparable with a conventional bottle simply because both say gin on the label.

Make sure someone eligible can receive the order

Singapore regulates the online sale and delivery of liquor. The Singapore Police Force states that electronic commerce platforms supplying liquor must take steps relating to verifying that buyers are 18 or older, warning under-18 buyers that purchasing liquor is an offence, and informing them of the applicable penalty.

Singapore's rules also distinguish between public and non-public delivery locations. For qualifying licensed online liquor businesses, customers can place orders through the online service at any time, while delivery outside applicable trading hours is permitted to non-public places such as residential homes. Deliveries to public places remain subject to applicable trading hours.

That distinction is worth remembering if you're ordering somewhere other than home. A condo's private function room, for example, can qualify as a non-public place, while common areas such as void decks do not.

Buy for the drinks you're actually making

It's tempting to browse amazing gins and choose the bottle with the most unusual botanicals. Start with what you plan to pour instead.

Buying for G&Ts? Add tonic and citrus to the mental shopping list. Planning Negronis? Make sure the vermouth and Campari are sorted too. Buying for a mixed group? A versatile London dry gin can cover several familiar cocktails without turning your drinks table into a small distillery.
