The growth of gin consumption from Miami to Argentina continues to rise

(By Juan Maqueda and Marcelo Maurizio) The growth of gin and tonic consumption in the American continent has been significant in recent years, led by the United States and Argentina. The pandemic has been a determining factor in the increase in alcohol consumption, but gin and tonic have had a particular boom.

In Miami, California, Argentina, and Chile, the growth of gin and tonic consumption exceeds 30% year-on-year, sustained since 2018. These markets have two strategic factors in common: they are strong in the production of wines, beers, and spirits in general, and Spain, which ranks in the top three for gin and tonic consumption worldwide, has enormous gastronomic influence in these areas.

The Philippines, the United States, and Spain are the main consumers of gin & tonic worldwide, followed by Great Britain, India, the Netherlands, Germany, Canada, and Slovakia. Although there are a large number of new artisanal gin brands in Argentina, with excellent performance worldwide and many distinctions in international festivals, there is still a lack of diversity of tonic products in the market, despite its great development at the end of 2022, to accompany this growth. Although gin is literally booming in all corners of the country, it still needs a lot of push from the supply of tonics (especially cans and glass bottles) because the demand is not covered. In Chile, something very different is happening due to its coherent and balanced policy of import openness and, above all, tax consistency for export.

Miami has become a prominent place for gin and tonic lovers, where you can find more than 1,800 references and presentations of gin from imported and national brands (including crafts). Online vertical shopping stores can have more than 50 pages of gin in their catalog, and the gastronomic circuit already has a very competitive route where it is a classic to have the house gin and tonic.

 

A summary of the inseparable companion:

Tonic water is the precursor to gin and tonic, and today there are well-known brands of tonic water worldwide, such as Blue tonic, Fever-Tree, San Pellegrino, The Original Tonic, Fetimanss, Canada Dry, and from the southern countries, Tonic Water (Patagonia), Paso de los Toros. The drink was created in Geneva, Switzerland, by a German watchmaker named J.J. Scheppes, who launched the world's first carbonated lemon soda in 1835. The great acceptance of the products among the British nobility made them very fashionable. Also, the Englishman William Cunnington, at the end of the 19th century, while in India for geological exploration, noticed that the locals had a special taste for quinine, a substance extracted from the bark of the quinine tree, which was used to combat malaria. Cunnington decided to experiment and mix quinine with carbonated water and sugar, thus creating tonic water.

 

The new gin boom

The rise of gin in recent years is due to a combination of factors, ranging from a greater appreciation for classic cocktails to a greater awareness of the quality of ingredients used in the production of drinks.

Firstly, gin is a versatile liquor that lends itself to a wide variety of combinations and preparations. The wide range of flavors and aromas that can be found in different gin brands offers a variety of options for creating complex and surprising cocktails. In addition, the trend towards artisanal and local products has led to an increase in the production of gins from small distilleries that offer unique and distinctive flavors.

Another important factor that has driven the rise of gin is the trend towards a healthier and more ingredient-conscious lifestyle. Consumers are looking for drinks with fewer calories and less sugar, and gin lends itself to this trend, as it is made with natural ingredients such as juniper and other botanicals. Additionally, the presence of natural ingredients and botanicals in the production of gin makes it seem like a healthier and more natural drink.

The growing interest in classic cocktails has also contributed to the increase in gin consumption. Cocktails such as the Gin and Tonic and the Negroni, which historically have been made with gin, have become favorites of the new generation of alcohol beverage consumers. The distinctive flavor and versatility of gin make it perfect for creating both classic and modern cocktails.

Finally, marketing and advertising have also played an important role in the increase in gin consumption. Gin brands have been able to adapt to current trends and have developed advertising campaigns that connect with younger consumers. Through social media and digital marketing, gin brands have created a modern and sophisticated image that appeals to consumers seeking unique and different experiences.
