CAMBRIDGE DISTILLERY Home of the award-winning Cambridge Dry Gin, Cambridge Distillery is delighted to present its new trio pack for the holidays, a discovery of English gardens through three 50ml miniatures of its most-loved gins. The beautifully packaged set – priced at £20 – features the classic Cambridge Dry Gin, elderflower gin liqueur and curator’s gin, a collaboration with Cambridge University Botanic Garden. The Cambridge Dry Gin combines traditional juniper with fresh basil, rosemary, rose petal, blackcurrant leaf and an effervescent citrus finish from lemon verbena, culminating in an elegant and refined gin that is best served with Indian tonic water and garnished with fresh mint. Curator’s gin is created using lemon lavender, ginger rosemary and crisp apples from Sir Isaac Newton’s tree. The result is an outstanding gin, as floral as it is intense. It’s delightfully refreshing as part of an aromatic gin and tonic, garnished with fresh rosemary or lavender. The elderflower gin liqueur is a vibrant tribute to the English summer. Inspired by the enchanting, fragrant heads of elderflower that bloom on the banks of the River Cam in the heart of Cambridge, it’s best served over ice, or as a lower alcohol alternative to gin with tonic water. You can find out more and purchase all of the gins on the Cambridge Distillery website. cambridgedistillery.co.uk
