Sipsmith Lemon Drizzle Gin, 70 cl Packaging may vary

Product Information

Their base gin, the Chesterfield London Dry gin is a wonderfully smooth gin with great hints of piney juniper.

While their goal is to balance the original recipe and its strong juniper-forward taste with the zesty and refreshing taste of the lemons, some would argue that the lemon taste is too strong and overpowers the drink a bit. 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. Monkey 47 is quite an unusual gin brand based in Germany. The number 47 comes from the 47 different botanicals used in their gin. Finders Spirits was born out of years of experience in the drinks market. With a passion for spirits, they decided that it was time to break the traditions and challenge the norm for spirits. If you see this bottle, you would agree that it doesn’t look like this would be a citrusy-flavored gin at all. It looks more like a rough version of a gin or maybe even a barrel-aged gin.

Warner’s Distillery started in 2012 with a dream to save the world from mediocre gin. With their passion to create the best and highest quality gin through hard work and dedication, they work hard with a smile to get you to ‘Drink Different’. 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 If you’re a big fan of strong juniper notes, however, your best bet would be to try to drink this gin neat or this gin might disappoint you a bit. The juniper notes are a bit toned down but are still present if it’s consumed neat. The Sicilian Lemon variant to the classic London dry gin offers a zesty variation with some of the best lemons (Sicilian lemons) in the whole world added to the recipe.

Another interesting botanical is bee pollen. This is quite an uncommon botanical and it also means that contrary to pretty much any gin, this gin is not suitable for vegans.The main focus of this gin was to still stay with the juniper-forward gin but to add a little something extra to it. On the nose, the lemon is quite aromatic and very present, while it doesn’t overpower the juniper at all. Hints of honey are noticeable scents as well. 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. Also, most gin liqueurs tend to be a bit sweeter than standard gins and they don’t need to be as juniper-forward as a real gin. The lemongrass in this gin is combined with ginger to make it a warm variation to the other lemon-based gins out on the market already. This double-up of two different kinds of lemon creates a long lemon zing that is incredibly refreshing.

The Lemon Drizzle variation to their London dry gin gets an added layer of sweet, sun-dried lemon peels to the base 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 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. The Lemon Sherbet is a zest and sweet variation to this smooth London Dry gin. They basically use all the same botanicals as in the London Dry gin but with a lot of added lemons to the distillation. Aside from this amazing gin, they also distill a few other flavored gins like Murcian Orange gin and Rhubarb and Rose gin.If you’re eager to sample Lemon Drizzle Gin for yourself, you can pop down to M&S, where it will be on the shelves from the end of September.
