Remember the good old days of going to a bar/club/pub with your mates, scanning the cocktail list and ordering an outlandishly flavoured cocktail? Nope, us neither. The anniversary of the first lockdown is quickly approaching and what we thought was just going to be a short-lived phase, is now very much the reality of our day to day lives – meaning (along with a host of other events), a night out with the girls is a rather distant memory at this point.
Whilst we don’t miss paying £20 for a mixologist to pour us an aperitif, we do miss the delicious varieties of drinks. So we’ve decided to pull out our cocktail making equipment, polish off our best glassware and treat ourselves to the best flavoured gins out there – perfect for recreating that spenny cocktail feeling.
A G&T has quickly become the go-to drink, whether it’s to toast a celebration (on Zoom, of course), or just to yourself for surviving another week of home school. But a flavoured gin will take this classic drink to the next level – and there’s a plethora of varieties to choose from to suit your palette. For something fruity, try this Rhubarb and Blood Orange flavour, bitter palettes, on the other hand, will appreciate this Chilli and Lime gin. Our edit even includes a clotted cream flavoured gin, because honestly at this point, even our afternoons could do with a tipple.
