Aiyu

Sweet, bubbly, and refreshing pear.

Pear is the new fashion!

Old fashion, rum fashion why not a gin fashion right??? Created to celebrate the old fashion way!!

I am in love with the aviation cocktail and kiwis and lavender is such a lovely flavour combo for this summer. Shrubs are an extremely fun and sustainable

The lavender and elderflower create a complex sweet flavor that pairs well with the lemon in the cocktail. The old tom gin adds to that already floral

Herbaceous, strong honey and citrus notes. Hint of spices, almost creamy. I suggest using a raw honey syrup instead of standard processed honey as it

Lavender Luck

Slap 6-8 fresh mint leaves to express the oils and add to the shaker. Next, add the Hayman's Old Tom Gin and the Giffard Cherry brandy. Then, add the lemon

McManus

Warming notes of sweet ginger followed by a hint of fiery cinnamon enhancing the body and flavors of the gin.
