Flavours
Rhubarb & Ginger
Think about the warming, cosy flavours of rhubarb and ginger crumble, and put that in a bottle of gin. Well, the rhubarb and ginger gin by Aber Falls provides just that alongside hints of spicy ginger. Leaving a warming sensation, enjoy on ice or serve in a cocktail of your choice.
Gingerbread Gin Liqueur
Get in with the festivities early with the gingerbread gin liqueur, perfect for sipping or mixing to experiment with an aroma of flavours. With a warmth of cinnamon and sweet vanilla, this gin also leads with a mixture of ginger and aromas of honey before leaving a creamy finish.
Seaweed
Not a sweet gin fan? What about a savoury gin? There are also savoury options of gins available, such as a seaweed which is designed to complement seafood.
Cocktails
Bramble
For a touch of sweetness, try a bramble containing gin, lemon juice and sugar syrup over a glass of crushed ice. With a range of liqueurs available, perhaps try with blackberry or raspberry liqueur.
Martini
A classic, the gin martini. With only two ingredients, it’s a simple and easy way to enjoy your gin on an evening or celebrating with friends and family. All you need is gin and dry vermouth, plus a couple of olives on a stick to display, if you’re feeling fancy of course. For an extra tip, place your glass in the fridge to chill for 10 minutes, before pouring your martini and later serving.
Classic Negroni
A little red drink with a touch of citrus flavour. The recipe consists of gin, sweet vermouth and campari served over ice with a slice of orange peel on the glass lip. Glowing like an evening sunset, the mix of ingredients creates a strong and bitter taste, with highlights of sweetness of the orange.
Fancy A Dessert?

Perfect for your next birthday or dinner party celebrations, pair with shavings of lemon on top to build a fresh citrus treat.
