Gin Tonic, A Love Story

GinTonic Cocktail Artwork

This is my love story and tribute to the city of Barcelona.

For the last four years, I have been lucky enough to visit friends and family and spend over two months in the city of Barcelona. Everyone who lives there, knows that gin tonics are the drink of choice, and also knows that we don’t call them “gin and tonics”.

Recently, I read an article about the passion for gin tonics in Spain and about some bars in Barcelona specialised on this type of drink.

The artwork features several ingredients used in the elaboration of Gin and the drink. You’ll notice some Arbequina olives as well, maybe not commonly associate it with Gin, but they are the gold ingredient in one of our national gins called Gin Mare, a Mediterranean Gin that I like and I wanted to support.

The artwork is built entirely in vectors. The lettering is based on my own copperplate writing and then added weight by hand and vectorised using Fontlab.

I hope you’ll enjoy my project!
