Introducing Very Berry Gin; our fruitiest gin to date that adds a delicious forest fruit dimension to a number of gin cocktails.
Our new Very Berry Gin is a celebration of British berries – featuring red grapes, raspberries, blackcurrant leaves, dried cherries and dried sloes, it’s simply bursting with flavour.
It’s also infused with fresh and fragrant ingredients, such as coriander, angelica liquorice, cassia, pink peppercorn, almond, and fresh orange peel, to give it a delicate citrus element that complements the forest fruits fantastically.
1. VERY BERRY G&T

Fill a highball glass or stemless wine glass with ice. Pour in the gin and top with the chilled tonic. Stir briefly to combine and then garnish with a blackberry, raspberry and orange twist garnish.
