We don’t all need a reason to celebrate, but if you did – it’s World Gin Day! What better way to spend the weekend than to enjoy a refreshing tipple? If you’re looking for some inspiration, join us in our celebration of the magic and diversity of gin as we reminisce on some of our favourite gin cocktails.

When the Viking Met the Witch
Feast your tastebuds on a delightfully decadent floral and aromatic cocktail this World Gin Day, perfect for those summer evenings with cherished souls. This is a summer version of our favourite winter warming cocktail ‘When the Viking Met the Witch.’ We’ve switched out the hot rooibos tea for cold by letting it cool and make sure to add an abundance of ice before serving. This floral cocktail is perfect for any garden party and feels like a sophisticated twist on fruity iced tea. For this recipe, you’ll need to mix together:
1.5oz Welsh Witch Beltane Gin
0.5oz fresh lime juice
0.5oz homemade honey syrup (or just normal honey!)
4oz freshly brewed rooibos tea which has been left to cool
You can see this delicious tipple demonstrated by Oli at Oli’s Drinks on Instagram here.
