A refreshing take on the classic Hendrick’s Gin, this gin is a tribute to the Midsummer Solstice. Using a secret selection of flowers, Hendrick’s have created a gin with an intensely floral bouquet that blossoms on the palate. The nose has notes of juniper mingling with delicate floral aromas, orange blossoms and zesty lemon notes. The palate offers notes of summer flowers that complement the classic juniper, spice and rose petal notes of Hendrick’s gin.

This fruity gin from Ben Lomond is infused with blackberries and gooseberries. The palate offers notes of earthy juniper, rich blackberries, forest fruits and tart gooseberries. Try pairing this with tonic water and a squeeze of orange.

A sweet, rich gin from Portobello Road distillery, it is redistilled with unsalted English butter. Try using this gin to make the Bees Knees cocktail from Portobello Road Gin, made with 50ml Portobello Butter Gin, 20ml lemon juice, 10ml honey water (1:1 ration honey and water), shake well and serve in a coup glass with a dried orange slice to garnish.

A gift pack from Tanqueray, including their super-premium small-batch Tanqueray No. 10 and a limited edition Coupette glass. It’s perfect for making a G&T – just add lots of ice, a lime wedge or two and a splash of tonic.

A 2013 release, Sipsmith V.J.O.P (Very Junipery Over Proof) Gin turns the juniper up to 11 as well as being bottled at higher strength of 57.7%. The process includes a 'triple juniper' technique which adds the juniper at three stages - first it is macerated for three days, then more juniper is added to the pot still and finally vapour infused into the spirit. This will work well in fuller flavoured gin-based cocktails.

Brooklyn is a handmade gin from New York. Distilled from local corn and using botanicals including citrus peels from locally grown fruit, this is fresh, complex and wonderful in a G&T.

A batch-distilled American gin that's inspired by the fuller-bodied Dutch style and championed by Ryan Reynolds, whose body we can't comment on for legal reasons. Created by distillers Lee Medoff and Christian Krogstad, who teamed up with Seattle mixologist Ryan Magarian, this spicy, floral gin is made with rye neutral grain spirit and a ‘botanical democracy’ of juniper, cardamom, coriander, lavender, anise, sarsaparilla and orange peel. This is, unsurprisingly, excellent in an Aviation cocktail, but also works well in a Martini and a G&T.

A delicate, aromatic French gin distilled in small Charentais pot stills using a mixture of 19 botanicals, including locally grown juniper, as well as citrus fruits, cinnamon and flowers.

An impressive-looking premium gin from famous wine and spirits merchants Berry Bros & Rudd, No. 3 London Dry is distilled in copper pot stills at De Kuyper in the Netherlands, counts cardamom seeds and grapefruit peel among its botanicals, and has been bottled at an invigorating 46%.

A rather unique gin from FEW, using their own tangy grain spirit as a base, before redistilling with a botanical mix including vanilla and hops picked from master distiller Paul Hletko's garden.
