To participate, design your own unique cocktail featuring the exquisite Sipsmith London Dry Gin. Whether it’s a twist on a classic or a completely original concoction, we want to see your creativity in action.

Now we’re not usually one’s for following the rules (in fact, we challenged the rules to change the law and build the brand that we are today), but to make things fair in love and gin we’d like you to comply with the following:
- Must include at least 35 ml Sipsmith Gin (any of the Sipsmith Gin range can be used)
- Maximum 6 ingredients
- Homemade ingredients allowed and encouraged
Step-by-Step Entry Process:

- Complete the Form: Fill out the entry form below with your details and your cocktail recipe.
- Upload Your Photo: Attach the photo of your cocktail to complete your entry.
- Repost on social media: We’re humble about most things, but our drinks? Far from it – and you shouldn’t be either. Post your creation on Instagram with the #CygnusCompetition2024 to complete your entry. (to be sure it catches our eye, why not tag our Swanderful Brand Ambassadors too on @liv_sipsmith and @sixty.twenty.twist
