Liverpool Organic Gin, 70 cl

Product Information

Part one – make the coffee liqueur: add the sugar and water to a pan, heat and stir until all the sugar has dissolved. Add coffee granules, approx. 25g, and vanilla (add around a tablespoon if you like the flavour of vanilla). Pour coffee syrup into a jug to cool to room temperature, then put into a Kilner jar and add the vodka. Mix and leave somewhere cool and dark to infuse overnight. Over the river on ‘the dark side’ you’ll find the Tappers distillery who are fully committed to reviving the art of gin. Their flavours are many and their bottles are stunning (the pink gin is a must have, even if it’s just to ogle the bottle) but their most famous offerings are their Darkside gin and their Wintergreen aromatic. Just try and keep us away from the Hydropathic Pudding Summer Fruits Cup as soon as the sun comes out though! There were two Anfield gins released around the same time and they’re both champions. This gin with a strawberry flavour and a red colour is for those who prefer a bit of added flavour to their gin while they cheer on the red men. Created by a father and daughter team of super fans, they were determined to make a gin that the local area could be proud of and we’re positive they’ve succeeded. Then, all you need to do is simply shake, top and pour in a gin balloon glass, with cubed ice. And relax!

The thing about gin is, it’s so versatile; it has its base botanicals that we all know and love but there really are unlimited combinations of flavours and it lends itself to them all beautifully. Aroma: Classic and straightforward juniper led nose with a slight hint of lemon and citrus around the edges.Some say the taste is quite bitter (calm down, calm down, we love you blues!) but we love this traditional taste named in honour of a traditional club. Serve with citrus and tonic in a big balloon glass and shout at the telly to your hearts content. By Natasha Ferguson They keep saying that the gin bubble is going to burst but instead it just keeps getting bigger, and so it should – it’s delicious!

It works well behind the bar in any application where you would expect a classic gin. However, I prefer it as a mixing gin than in spirit-forward drinks like the Martini or Arsenic and Old Lace. It’s hard to keep your in this gorgeous sunshine, but this light, refreshing cooler from The Florist might just help…Flavor: The palate is still juniper led; however, the other botanicals come through. Coriander and a hint of cardamom come on mid-palate, while green juniper eases into a finish with light intensity bitter orange and citrus. Part two – cover a pan with a thin cloth (a J Cloth is fine) and pour liqueur through it to strain off the granules. Carefully remove the cloth, put on a low heat – don’t let it bubble. Taste and then add a pinch of salt to enhance flavours and keep stirring while on heat until it’s all dissolved. Liverpool Dry Gin is fairly classic. The hint of citrus draws comparison to both Beefeater and P lymouth, among staples that emphasize a similar those ingredients in a similar way. Now technically, although this is named after and inspired by a little-known area of Sicily, this gin flavoured with lemons, oranges and a pinch of sea salt is local. Created by the Carlisi brothers (of Carlisi bar on Dale Street) who are honorary scousers anyway, this is distilled right here in the city. Liverpool would be in a right state if it wasn’t for the EU, so the fact that the botanicals in this gin are authentically Sicilian makes it the perfect Scouse/European fusion. Serve with premium tonic, citrus garnish and plenty of sunshine – but be warned, you’ll have gone through a whole bottle before you realise.

A classic, if a little “by the numbers” gin. Fans of classic gin staples will appreciate the simplicity. While well done, I think the important question is if it’s different enough to distinguish itself from its peers that are available at lower price points. We have to start with the OG right? This one put local premium gins on the map, and we must thank them for it. It’s beautiful in its original form but comes in a variety of flavours such as lemongrass and rose petals but the real hero in the stall is the Valencian Orange. While so many gins combine several fruits or flavours, Liverpool Gin likes to go in strong with one banging hero flavour and does it well.Method: Shake and strain into a tall glass over cubed ice, and garnish with a cucumber slice and a mint sprig. It’s a beautiful juniper-forward Gin and Tonic and it brings a pleasant, but not-aggressive pine note to the Gin and Juice. Overall, Liverpool Gin Liverpool Gin is a premium organic gin producer who makes gin from scratch using pure certified organic botanicals, producing a highly distinctive, aromatic drink. The brainchild of Liverpool Organic Brewery managing director Mark Hensby and head distiller John O’Dowd.
