Agave Gin Cocktails — Data-Backed Ranking

6 Gin cocktails deliver a agave flavour profile in this data, led by 3-Mile Long Island Iced Tea and Gentle Ben.

Agave and gin work well together because the spirit acts as a carrier — it does not fight the flavor, it extends it. The drinks here either feature agave as the dominant note or use it as a counterpoint to the spirit's own character.
