Sipsmith Lemon Drizzle Gin, 70 cl Packaging may vary

Product Information

Sipsmith offers a wide variety of different gins that are pretty much all amazing. From their classic London dry to their Orange & Cacao, you can’t really go wrong with this brand at all. Foxdenton is a family run company that specializes in the production of English fruit gin liqueurs and London Dry gin. Their aim is to make great seasonal drinks based on traditional recipes while using British fruit. Whitley Neill is quite a popular gin brand and has been around for an incredible amount of time already. Their gin distillery has been in the family for 8 generations and over these years they’ve come up with an amazing range of gins.

This double-up of two different kinds of lemon creates a long lemon zing that is incredibly refreshing. By now we’re well familiar with the history of the gin and tonic: first a product of necessity, the G&T made bitter and quinine-rich tonic water (and its anti-malarial effects) palatable with the addition of gin, ice, and citrus. Despite its initial medicinal use, the G&T has since become a favourite of drinkers around the globe, prized for its freshness and subtle complexity. THE GREAT GARNISH DEBATE Derbyshire Distillery is a relatively young distillery that only started in early 2018. They aim to create the most amazing gins, vodkas, and liqueurs using high quality local and international ingredients combined with fresh, cool Derbyshire. Aside from this amazing gin, they also distill a few other flavored gins like Murcian Orange gin and Rhubarb and Rose gin.Citruses in general were already a quite commonly used botanical in gin, pretty much every dry gin contains citrus botanicals. Only recently, however, have brands been incorporating lemons specifically more and more into the main flavor palate of their gin.

Others move further away from lemons and limes. Julia Forte from the London Gin Club advises: “Match your garnish to the specific or highlighting botanicals in the gin. Lime, rhubarb, or an olive work well with dry gins, while grapefruit, citrus peel, cucumber, and rose petals work with floral gins. For a savory gin, try rosemary, thyme, or basil with a cherry tomato.” Find fifteen of our more unusual G&T garnishes here. ICE IS KEY Flavored gins are becoming more and more popular every day for the last few years. A few very popular flavored gins are for instance blood orange gins, pink gins, and violet gins. LoneWolf and Brewdog have partnered up a few times already for a few other gins, and they are absolutely great!Aside from the aforementioned Sicilian Lemon gin from Flavoursmiths, they also released another lemon-based gin called the Lemon Peel gin. The Lemon & Lime gin from Finders is a lively gin with a strong citrus tang. The key botanicals in this gin are lemon peel and lemon balm, anis seed, and pine needles. Monkey 47 is quite an unusual gin brand based in Germany. The number 47 comes from the 47 different botanicals used in their gin. No matter which citrus fruit you select as your perfect G&T garnish, there’s no need to squeeze before placing into your glass. Brands are trying to be more innovative and are trying to keep up with the increasing demand for different kinds of gin. One of those new flavored gins is lemon based gin.

LoneWolf partnered up with Brewdog for this amazing lemon-based gin. LoneWolf is a rather small gin brand with a quest for the perfect spirit. They’ve made a few different gins already with Cactus and Lime gin and the Cloudy Lemon gin among them. As you may have noticed, they use a ton of different lemon parts to really capture the lemon flavors as much as possible. You can’t really go wrong with any of the Whitley Neill gins, they’ve got a gin for every occasion you could think of. Gordon’s is always a great option if you’re more on a budget while you would still like to enjoy a great gin. Alexander Gordon began distilling in the 18th century and the recipe for their base London dry gin has stayed more or less the same throughout all those years because it is simple yet great in taste.On top of that is lemon verbena to sweeten up the aroma. Hand-peeled lemon is infused with the other botanicals of this gin to form an amazingly floral, refreshing drink. Just like the Sicilian Lemon gin, this gin stays close to an original gin by keeping crisp juniper notes at its core. Even though mainly London dry gin was becoming more popular at that time, The City of London Distillery decided to spice things up with different kinds of gins and botanicals to bring more variety to the gin market. The Tom Collins is one of the most quintessential gin serves out there. This tribute to the classic upends the formula only slightly, using lemon cordial in place of lemon juice and sugar syrup. Simple to make and impossible not to like, it’s a classic for a reason. Build your Lemon Drizzle Mojito in a highball glass, simply add all ingredients (except ice) to a glass and muddle with a long handled spoon or muddler for a few seconds. Then top with soda water and crushed ice, stir briefly to blend, and garnish with a sprig of mint and twist of fresh lemon. LEMON COLLINS

The last spirit on this list is not exactly a gin, but instead, it’s a gin liqueur. This mainly means that the Alcohol By Volume or ABV of this gin is lower than 37.5% which is the required amount for gin. This can, however, be a good thing. Especially for people who are not too big on the whole piney taste juniper offers, this gin could be a great first gin to use in their gin & tonic and to get used to the taste gins offer. Other gins in their range are for example a traditional London Dry gin, a Lime Tree gin, a Classic Pink gin, and of course their Lemon Grove gin. Ranging from their ‘The original’ gin to other more unique gins like Rhubarb & Ginger, Blood Orange, Pink Grapefruit, and of course their Lemongrass & Ginger gin. Malfy’s lemon gin and their grapefruit gin are considered to be one of the best, if not the best, lemon and grapefruit gins on the market right now.The Malfy Gin Con Limone has a more zesty aroma with juniper scents around it. Aside from the lemons that are used in the distillation of this gin, extra Amalfi lemons are added to this distillation step. Combine all ingredients in an ice-filled highball glass and stir. Garnish with some sliced cucumber, sprig of mint and a fresh raspberry.
