Gin and Tonic Tastes Better with Ants
While the list of reasons to eat creepy crawlies is long, it’s one that usually stops at “flavour.”
That is until a British distillery unveiled their latest batch of gin, a new blend with one secret ingredient: red wood ants.
“It’s subtle. Almost citrus-like. It works well with herby notes and the flavour of the required juniper,” explains Nordic Food Lab’s Jonas Astrup Pedersen, who worked with The Cambridge Distillery to develop Anty Gin. “Amazing how such a small creature contains so much flavour.”
