Have you tried Wild Cherry 🍒 Gin & Cola… Mad

Have you tried Wild Cherry 🍒 Gin & Cola…

Made with hand picked wild cherries from the Black Powder Distillery orchards, along with Montmorency and Morello cherries, the result is a liquid that’s a deep red in appearance. The colour is of course a great indicator of the taste, as it’s full of rich cherry goodness that explodes on the palate. 100% natural, there’s subtle hints of glorious marzipan adding depth and a cake like sweetness to the proceedings.

Whilst you can pair this with Indian Tonic, our personal preference is with Fever-Tree Madagascan Cola. Gin & Cola may sound like an odd pairing but in this instance it really does work... and also makes a popular talking point!

Arenal Volcano Martini (meaning hot springs) with

Arenal Volcano Martini (meaning hot springs) with Samara Coffee Bean Gin.

Samara Volcano Coffee Bean Gin celebrates the Costa Rican Heritage of "El Grano de Oro" also known as The Golden Bean. This gin embodies its namesake and is full of bold and warming coffee notes with notes of juniper, angelica and orange adding balance and depth.

Coffee in gin may sound like an odd combination to some, and we’ll admit we were skeptical at first, however this works wonders as a G&T whilst making a fantastic base for cocktails.

Why we hear you ask? The coffee taste is totally authentic, but it also still tastes like gin. It’s a difficult balance for sure, but Eduardo and Ana at Samara have done wonders with this and have totally encapsulated the charms of Costa Rican coffee.

As a G & T serve we recommend Fever-Tree Naturally Light Tonic and a garnish of either fresh Coffee Beans, or Orange & Thyme for the perfect serve.

As soon as we tried this gin however our thoughts naturally turned to how amazing this gin would be in a cocktail! We opted for a twist on the classic Espresso Martini, it seemed only right! We cannot emphasise the depth of flavour in this cocktail. Its utterly divine. The addition of vanilla bitters gives a lift and touch of sweetness.

‘“Arenal Volcano Martini”

Ingredients:

35ml Volcano Coffee Gin
25ml Kahula
20ml of fresh espresso coffee
5ml of Sugar syrup
2 dashes of vanilla bitters

Method:

Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker, add ice, shake vigorously, strain into a frozen coupe glass and garnish with a mint leaf.

From soft, sandy beaches, to soaring volcanoes and tropical rainforest, Costa Rica has incredible diversity and beauty in its landscapes, plants and flowers. Eduardo and Ana have created a range of gins that are a true reflection of their native Costa Rica.

Pura Vida ❤️

We are delighted to be stocking this exclusively at ‘The Gin To My Tonic”. Available now at https://thegintomytonic.com/shop/samara-volcano-coffee-gin/

It’s always been important to us to champion craft distillers and gin creators, so when the opportunity came along for us to exclusively launch two new products on behalf of Eduardo and Ana at Samara Gin we just couldn’t resist...
From soft, sandy beaches, to soaring volcanoes and tropical rainforest, Costa Rica has incredible diversity and beauty in its landscapes, plants and flowers. This botanical diversity also translates beautifully into gin.

Fresh, smooth and exotic, with sweet notes of pineapple and passionfruit at the fore and coconut on the finish, it’s both vibrant, refreshing and truly representative of Costa Rica and it’s makers.

This evening it’s all about cocktails! We have had huge amounts of creating some delicious serves with these creations.

Shivering Mountain Premium Pink Gin is our toast t

Shivering Mountain Premium Pink Gin is our toast to the weekend, this classy number is packed full of citrus flavours.

Shivering Mountain Gin is located in the heart of the UK’s Peak District National Park. They sit in the beautiful Hope Valley, overlooked by MAM TOR, the majestic peak known locally as Shivering Mountain.

Embracing their inner-ginologists, they’ve harnessed the landscape, the micro-climate, fresh spring waters and natural botanicals to capture the beauty and spirit of the Peak District in a bottle.

Their Premium Pink Gin is the epitome of purity and craft. Instead of adding sweetener they’ve crafted the perfect balance of pink grapefruit and orange with their dry gin base along with with juniper, and fruity notes from sloes and bilberries. The result is a deliciously refreshing, lightly aromatic gin with a smooth, crisp citrus finish.

We paired with Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water and grapefruit. A throughly delicious summerfull serve.

We of course can’t not mention the bottle. It has been lovingly created and designed, the lines and shimmer recreate the natural landscape which they take inspiration, and the bottle base paying homepage to MAM TOR aka Shivering Mountain.

There has been a lot of positive noise about Shivering Mountain, and with good reason. A truly special gin….

The Artisan Gin infuses Croatian flavours with a b

The Artisan Gin infuses Croatian flavours with a bottle that epitomises luxury. This feast for the senses is artisan in name and artisan in nature, and one we’ve been mightily impressed by. To describe, well, we can’t ignore the bottle which is a thing of beauty and seduces you on the eye before reaching the nose and palate. 14 organic botanicals including juniper, lemon and orange peels, almonds, olive tree leaves, elderflower, lavender and the stunning Croatian national flower, the Iris, come together to produce a superb dry gin with a multi-layered balanced flavour.

On the nose it’s a real combination of botanicals, with piney fresh juniper shining brightly accompanied by fresh citrus notes and lavender. On the palate, it’s distinct, dry yet balanced, with juniper, citrus and lavender continuing to shine, with herbs and earthy notes underpinning the flavour journey, and almonds contributing to the creamy mouthfeel. The finish is long lasting, fresh and certainly rememberable.

Overall, it conjures images of the Croatian countryside and leaves a long lasting impression with its slick design and robust yet balanced flavours. Housed in such a beautiful bottle it could easily disappoint, but this vacuum distilled London Dry hits the right spot and transports you to sunnier climes.

A garnish of lavender and lemon peel helps enhance those vibrant floral and citrus notes. Perfectly paired with Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water it makes for a truly European serve.

A Strawberry dream on a hot summers day….. 🍓

A Strawberry dream on a hot summers day….. 🍓

Fresha is a five times distilled premium strawberry gin described as having Spanish style win English class - we certainly agree with that!

Fresha uses 7 botanicals, such as Huelva strawberries as well as vanilla and star anise. All of these quality ingredients are expertly distilled using traditional pot stilling methods by Mr Spain Distillery, which is located in the Andalucía region.

On the nose the strawberry scent is utterly divine, it’s exactly as you would expect it to be as it fills the nose.
To taste it is smooth on the palate, with succulent strawberry, subtle spiced aromatic notes and of course bold juniper. It is a delightful medley of flavours and an example of exceptional fruit inspired gin.

Fresha is also one of only a handful of “Pink” Gins with a coveted Gold from the San Francisco Spirit Awards.

No doubt the spirit of Fresha will go from strength to strength, if you haven’t tried yet, what are you waiting for? For the perfect serve we’d throughly recommend Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic and a garnish of Strawberries. Those that prefer their gin with Lemonade will also be happy to know that this works beautifully with Rose Lemonade.

Blueberry Harrogate Gin Over the past few weeks w

The story began on the ‘Hills of Hepple’, one

The story began on the ‘Hills of Hepple’, one of Britain’s last wild sanctuaries for juniper.

Valentine Warner took acclaimed bartender Nick Strangeway and distillery developer Cairbry Hill to the remote Northumbrian National Park, Hepple to meet Walter Riddell, owner of the Hepple Estate in March 2013.

At this point the gin renaissance was well underway. With distilleries blossoming and new technologies and innovations coming to the fore they sought out their own story.
Events took an interesting turn when in 2014, Chris Garden, the star distiller of Sipsmith moved back North, Valentine Warner wasted no time making contact. Interestingly Chris Garden had said he would never make another gin, however he was struck by this unique project and story, together they then embarked on a journey to create a gin that is a true celebration of Juniper. Hepple Gin developed a pioneering Triple Technique of distillation that delivers a gin of exceptional freshness and purity, a classic, remastered. Their gin takes five times longer to develop and is the only gin made using fresh green juniper. which includes pot stills, vacuum distillation and a supercritical CO2 extraction process!
A base spirit is distilling in a pot still using a selection of botanicals including Italian juniper. More botanicals are vacuum-distilled, including locally picked juniper, Amalfi lemon and lovage. The super-critical CO2 extraction process is used to make a spirit flavoured with Macedonian juniper.
On the nose there are delightful aromas of Lemon peel and peppery juniper with herbaceous undertones. To taste, Coriander, pine and sherbet lemon sweetness mingle to give a complex, fresh, juniper forward feel. A lively citrus finish with a good kick of juniper.

There’s a whole host of inspiration from Hepple around perfect serves, we opted to recreate their Hepple White Lady. Delicious.

A truly inspirational distillery making exceptional spirits, now available from The Gin To My Tonic store…
