Gin is definitely the drink of the moment. Aperol Spritz is great but it's best sipped on the poolside, and Baileys is brilliant but is best added to hot chocolates by the fire. Gin? It's season transitional and delicious.
Flash Pack have done some research on Instagram trends and looked at the hashtags #Gin, #GinLovers, and #GinoClock and their respective locations. By looking at 3,600 uses of the tag, they found out which cities were drinking the most. And, Londoners, you have some explaining to do. Did you know that you drank the equivalent of 1.12 billion G&Ts in 2016?!
Here's the top five:
1. London, UK
Well, if the number of pop-up gin bars are anything to go by, we are not remotely surprised.
2. Berlin, Germany
It's a party capital in Europe, and nothing says party better than a triple G&T.
3. New York, USA
Trendy New Yorkers, eh? If gin is in, there's no surprises here.
4. Barcelona, Spain
Guess they can't drink Sangria all day every day?
5. Broadbeach, Australia
Oh, how wonderful it would be to have permanent sunshine and a gin and tonic in hand? books flight
The interactive map can be found on the Flash Pack website. But be warned, it might have you craving a G&T...
