According to Modesto Marini the owner and founder of The Marini’s Group, gin is a versatile drink which deserves a special bar on its own. “Gin is usually a staple in any bar bit at MariGin, it is the star. It is a versatile and refreshing spirit that can be drunk straight up, in a simple mix or added to other flavours in a cocktail.”
