A classic gin and tonic really only consists of two ingredients; gin and tonic water. But it takes knowledge and experience to make a G&T taste as crisp and fresh as we like. These days we seldom drink a G&T that doesn't include some other ingredients too, and the variations are endless. The most popular addition was lemon for many years, but a few years ago cucumber and pepper became all the rage. Today, you can find all kinds of ingredients in your G&T and lots of bartenders like to put their own personal stamp on this popular drink. We've scanned Stockholm's bars and restaurants to find the city's best gin and tonic.

Gin bar and mini restaurant
Agrikultur began as a small restaurant on Roslagsgatan where fine Swedish ingredients were served in a tasting menu. Bar Agrikultur is their popular gin bar and mini restaurant on Nytorget, and you can enjoy the same experience here but in a slightly different, simpler form. You can order several small dishes to share, and they recommend accompanying them with their favourite gin. In 2022 and 2023 they were awarded a Bib Gourmand in the Michelin guide.

Former apothecary in the Old Town
Sweden's oldest apothecary was once housed in this very spot, some 400 years ago, hence the name. You can eat and drink here, but the emphasis is very much on drinking - and food is chosen to be paired accordingly. Fresh ingredients, herbs and botanicals dominate here.
