Enjoy tasty Gin Summer Spritzers with Berkshire Botanical Rhubarb and Raspberry Gin

Based around the stunning 9,000 acre Yattendon Estate in West Berkshire, Berkshire Botanical focus on nature
around the estate and the animals that adorn their gin bottles.

 

Berkshire Botanical Rhubarb and Raspberry Gin

Berkshire Botanical Rhubarb and Raspberry Gin (40.3% vol) is copper pot distilled and then gently infused with Rhubarb and Raspberry.

Berkshire Botanical’s inspiration comes from the flora and the fauna on the Yattendon Estate.

Their Rhubarb and Raspberry expression combines tart flavour notes with peppery citrus spice.

It’s fresh, fruity and elegant with a heart of juniper – a splendid combination to tonic or bubbles!

We love the rabbit in a smart suit on the front of their Rhubarb & Raspberry Gin. The countryside inspires their
range of gins, and their flavours also bring back fond memories of childhood!

Enjoy the Berkshire Rhubarb and Raspberry Gin with Lixir Rhubarb and Raspberry Tonic and a thin slice of
rhubarb, or simply over ice.

Sloes aka blackthorn
 by Allison Strydom

Sloe Gin – What is it and how can I make my own?

You might have heard of sloe gin before, but what exactly is it and how is it different from regular gin?

Sloes are a type of fruit, part of the same family as cherries and plums and Sloe Gin is made by infusing gin with ripe sloes and usually adding sugar to the mix. This is then left to mature over several months and then strained off, leaving you with a tasty, sweet and fruity liqueur. The alcohol content varies between 15-30% ABV but EU regulations state that to be called Sloe Gin, it must have a minimum of 25% ABV.

There are a number of fantastic sloe gins available, including 6 O’clock Sloe Gin, Sipsmith Sloe Gin, Elephant Sloe Gin and Hayman’s Sloe Gin however, it’s really easy to make your own at home, especially if you have access to fresh sloes.

Here, ILoveGin explores some fantastic recipes for how to make your own sloe gin from home, as well as what differentiates this kind from other gins, sloe gin cocktails and more.
