Here’s what’s inside June’s Craft Gin Club:-
Gin Of The Month: Dartmouth English Gin (70cl / 45% ABV)
Distilled in Devon by The Dartmouth Distillery Co, this month’s featured gin comes packaged in a beautiful clear glass bottle which boasts an intricate engraving with accents of seahorses. The Dartmouth English Gin is a fresh and classic blend of well-known botanicals such as Juniper, Coriander, Angelica, Liquorice, Cardamom, Lavender, Rosemary and Orris Root, mingled in with some summery notes of Kaffir Lime Leaf, Sweet Orange, Lemon and Grapefruit.
These are complemented well by the likes of more exotic botanicals such as Cubeb Pepper, Grains of Paradise and Scots Pine Needles for a gin that is a worthy and unique addition to your drinks cabinet, during summer and beyond. It has an uplifting and fresh aroma with a clean taste that finishes on some delicious subtle spicy notes.
Mixers & Drinks: Lixir Tonic Waters, Pedrino Spritz and Soda Folk
Enjoy the perfect G&T this month by mixing your Dartmouth English Gin with the Lixir Elderflower & Lemon Tonic Water for an instant taste of summer, or why not try it with the Lixir Blood Orange & Cinnamon Tonic Water for something different? After that, you can create the Cocktail Of The Month (recipe in your GINNED! magazine) which includes the Knickerbocker Glory Syrup (mentioned below) and the tangy and fizzy Soda Folk Cherry.
And for a ready-mixed drink, the Pedrino Vermouth & Tonic Spritz is perfect served over ice for a quick BBQ friendly treat. Bottoms up!
Garnishes & Syrup: Knickerbocker Glory Syrup and Lime & Cardamom garnish
Craft Gin Club’s very own cocktail syrups are a wonderful extra each month and this time around we have a delicious Knickerbocker Glory Syrup to enjoy, along with a packet of dried Lime slices and Cardamom (you can use the latter to make the Perfect G&T!).
Sweet & Savory Snacks: Joe & Seph’s Gourmet Popcorn and Darling Spuds Crisps
To round of this month’s box, there’s a selection of premium sweet and savoury snacks. On the left is a packet of Darling Spuds Crisps in Somerset Cheddar & Onion which are crunchy and hand-cooked, and on the right you can sample Joe & Seph’s amazing Dry Martini Gourmet Popcorn which has been created to honour James Bond and it includes real gin and vodka!
