For each gin featured below, in alphabetical order from Bullards Gin from Norfolk to Tide's Fortune Gin from Essex, discover the Distiller or Founders' suggested Gin & Tonic garnish for their Coastal Gin as well as either their classic cocktail recommendations or their own cocktail recipes. If you fancy picking up bottle of a gin for yourself, there are links to the online shop for each too :-) Caprisius Gin, Italy Founder, Luca Stabile: Caprisius Gin was born from the desire to tell the story of the island of Capri through a gin, starting from the sea that surrounds it up to the flavors of its land. It features juniper, lemon, marjoram, thyme and sea salt, all collected in Capri and distilled separately. Buy direct from Caprisius Gin. Gin & Tonic Garnish Suggestion: As a garnish for a Gin & Tonic with Caprisius Gin, we suggest Lemon peel and a Mint leaf. Cocktail: Hibiscus Fizz The best cocktail that we have tried with our gin is called a Hibiscus Fizz - made at the gin bar of Punta Tragara (the best hotel in Capri).
Greenwich Marine Gin, England Founder, Gonzalo Ruiz: Greenwich Gin is the perfect pairing between the finest British marine botanicals, including sea fennel, Atlantic dulse and kombu kelp, and the most enchanting accords from our world travels. Buy direct from Greenwich Gin. Gin & Tonic Garnish Suggestion: For a garnish, anything fresh is always a winner and we would recommend a fresh slice of pink grapefruit or lime. Optionally add rock samphire to highlight the fresh coastal elements of the gin and give your drink a fashionable look too! Cocktails: In the case of Greenwich Gin, because it carries such a delicate and refreshing flavour it can be enjoyed the most on the rocks, in a classic Martini or in a G&T with light premium tonic with a higher gin to tonic ratio. Seafarer's Gin - Rosemullion Distillery, EnglandDistiller, Andy Bradbury: Our Seafarer's Gin is inspired by the salty air and stormy seas that crash against the coastline of Cornwall. It is made using a blend of botanicals found along the coast, and seaweed from the shoreline. Buy direct from Rosemullion Distillery. Gin & Tonic Garnish Suggestion: As this is quite a peppery gin, it works really well as a simple G&T – served with premium Indian tonic water and a slice of lemon. Try serving with a little dried sea spaghetti in a high ball for a different taste. Cocktail: Coastal Margatini For something a little creative, try a Coastal Margatini, balancing the coastal and peppery botanicals with citrus and a touch of sweetness:
Rowers Gin - Adventurers Drinks, EnglandFounder, Phil Kite: Rowers Gin reflects its rowing backstory with its unique flavour coming from the botanicals found on our riverbanks, coasts, and the Atlantic Ocean that surround us, such as meadowsweet, rock samphire and sugar kelp. Buy direct from Adventurers Drinks. Gin & Tonic Garnish Suggestion: Orange Peel or Lemon Peel Cocktail: Coastal Orange Spritz
Seaside Gin - Sheringham Distillery, CanadaCaylee Kretschmer, Director of International Development: Inspired by the Vancouver Island coast, with its clean surf and fragrance of wild roses, evergreen forests, and salty air, our Seaside Gin features juniper, rose, lavender, citrus, cardamom, and - most notably - local, sustainably harvested winged kelp, which gives it a subtle taste of the ocean. Buy direct from Sheringham Distillery. Gin & Tonic Garnish Suggestion: Lemon Peel Cocktail: Canary Diamond
Tide's Fortune Gin - East Coast Distillery, England Co-Founder, Ben Mann: Our Tide's Fortune Essex Dry Gin is a celebration of the Essex coast. We use locally foraged Sea Purslane that grows along the estuary. It's an intertidal plant so is often covered with sea water giving it a rich, mineral quality and a slight salinity to the gin, paired with the bold sharpe / sweet citrus notes of the locally sourced Sea Buckthorn. Buy direct from East Coast Distillery. Gin & Tonic Garnish Suggestion: We serve ours served with Coast Tonic which uses a small amount of sea salt in production and really enhances that coastal nature of our gin. Garnish with a twist of lemon peel and it's perfect. Cocktail: Juliet & Romeo Our Essex Dry is a classic Martini gin served with a twist of lemon peel but we recently made a very good Juliet and Romeo cocktail. The fresh cucumber in this alongside the tiny amount of salt works beautifully:
