Sofa Moments: World Gin Day

Jump for juniper – Saturday 10th June is World Gin Day, giving us even more reason to sip, enjoy and experiment with everybody’s favourite botanical beverage! For cocktail inspiration, we’ve teamed up with The Lakes Distillery who have sent us three refreshing recipes that put this delectable tipple in the spotlight. The Lakes Distillery is based along the River Derwent and produces The Lakes Gin from juniper that is naturally sourced from the fells in the Lake District as well as local botanicals such as bilberry, heather and meadowsweet, giving this artisan gin notes of floral and citrus, with a sweet taste.
