We are a nation of classy and innovative Gin drinkers and the UK is dotted with some global quality bars that specialise in that thing we hold so dear. . . Gin!

Forget your regular G&T cans, these pre-mixed G&Ts taste like they have just been poured in a high-end bar by expert mixologists! And they look great too…
Ahoy there gin fans! Portobello Road have added a fabulous new addition to their ginventory – a whopping 57.1% Navy Strength gin!
The Navy Strength is a new and punchier expression of Portobello Road’s original 171 gin, staying true to its flavour profile and core botanicals. At the end of the distillation process, a taste of the sea is injected when a small amount of English sea salt is incorporated into the gin – a very nice nod to the history of this gin variation.
But where does the term ‘Navy Strength’ come from? Well thanks to a lesson by Ginstitute owner and Portobello Road mastermind Jake Burger … I can tell you!
We love Bloom Gin here at ILoveGin.com and have been super excited to try their latest edition! BLOOM Jasmine & Rose Pink Gin is like no other and makes the most perfect summer G&T!
