WIN A TOP GIN PRIZE FROM PROVENDER BROWN, ROCK ROSE GIN AND SMALL CITY
For a group of G&T lushes like #TeamSmallCity, the transformation of gin from James Bond's famous highbrow martini mixer, to the on-trend spirit of choice for men and women everywhere, has been a welcome post-millenium bonus!
From small artisan distilleries tucked into the woods, to passionate Scottish families dominating the global market, the rise and rise of all things juniper has been incredible to witness.Gins flavoured with fruits, 40% bottles of dynamite, gin liquers to drizzle slowly into Prosecco bubbles and oh so much more have elevated this once infamous mother's ruin to the lofty heights of Scotland's second national drink.
From small artisan distilleries tucked into the woods, to passionate Scottish families dominating the global market, the rise and rise of all things juniper has been incredible to witness.
With this of course, has been a desire from us Scots to create and imbibe new and wondorous combinations: gone is the Gordons and warm Schwepps, and in its place is everything from grapefruit flavoured gins (see
Rock Rose's Old Tom variety - amazing!) to elderflower tonics, infused syrups and foraged garnishes that lift the scents and tastes of the new botanicals.
And so we want you to turn our summer cocktails into something special; Show is your gin and you could win a fabulous gin-tastic prize that will be the envy of your friends!
