Distiller’s Garden

We found a change of scenery served up some fresh, fragrant inspiration when the team departed our Chiswick distillery and immersed themselves in the Cotswolds countryside.

With everyone choosing a botanical to champion for this gin, Distillers Garden is a bouquet of British berries, herbs and hops. Featuring sweet cicely, blackcurrant leaves, sloe berries and aromatic Fuggle hops, almost all the ingredients – including traditional gin botanicals like angelica, orris and coriander – hail from Jared’s garden.

Having spent the afternoon tending to your garden, flex your bartending skills and shake up some green-fingered inspiration with two specially created cocktails – both sensational sips offer a burst of floral refreshment, whether you’re entertaining friends and family alfresco, planning a picnic in the park or spending an afternoon dozing in a deckchair. But first, plant the seeds of inspiration by pouring 50ml Distillers Garden into a highball glass over ice and topping with Indian tonic water before garnishing with a lemon twist.

15ml lime juice

5ml grenadine

Prepare your coupe by running a lime wedge around the rim and rolling in sugar. Then combine and shake all the ingredients without ice, before adding ice and shaking again to build more foam. Fine-strain the liquid into your sugar-rimmed coupe. Crush the freeze-dried raspberries and sprinkle the dust over the foam.
