Perfect Pairings: The Best Desserts to Pair with Gin
Partaking in a Monkey Hanger gin nightcap calls for the perfect dessert to pair with it. Whether you like refreshing, fruity tarts or rich, chocolatey brownies, this guide will help you find the perfect pairing.
Fruity Desserts
Fruity desserts pair well with gin. Their light, refreshing flavours match with the woodsy, juniper essence of gin to create a complementary taste. Try a lemon or raspberry tart, peach crumble, apple pie, or strawberry sorbet to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Chocolate Desserts
Truffles, chocolate cake, and brownies pair nicely with gin. We think white chocolate is a perfect complement for a G&T, but don’t skip experimenting with milk and dark chocolate too.

Indulgent Desserts
If you like a more elegant treat, a full-bodied cheesecake or a caramelised crème Brûlée will take your evening drink to the next level.

Savoury Desserts
If sweet is not your thing, gin also pairs beautifully with a cheese board. Try creamy cheeses like a soft Brie, or go for big floral flavours with blue cheese.
