We still have a few days left to use Christmas in July as an excuse for creating some festive tipples and celebrating with friends! Warner’s Distillery have come up with these three delicious recipes using their farm-born British gins, available here via Barrel & Batch or BoozeBud, plus select independent liquor stores and bars.
Their just-landed, small batch Christmas Cake Gin contains luxurious chocolate, black treacle and spice with hand-picked sloe berries and cherry juice, all expertly blended with a sprinkle of Christmas magic. Hand-crafted in the UK just before their Christmas, then shipped here to help bring some festive cheer to our coldest month! This gin’s ace with a slice of orange and fancy Fever-Tree Distillers Cola, but Coca-Cola also works! Oh, and it also makes an indulgently rich Negroni…
