Sipsmith Lemon Drizzle Gin 50cl

Sipsmith Lemon Drizzle Gin is everybody’s favourite zesty dessert in a bottle, made by one of London’s most prestigious craft distilleries. Let’s be honest—citrus gins nowadays are a dime a dozen. Not that all of them aren’t special in their own way, but it’s hard to top something so classic and simple. The folks at Sipsmith though, they did it, introducing Sipsmith Lemon Drizzle Gin, a perfect gin-based rendition of lemon drizzle cake. The distinction comes from the way it’s made, using a specially-crafted layer of lemon components to achieve its unique flavour. It starts as Sipsmith’s legendary London Dry Gin, and goes on to meet sweet, sun-dried lemon peels, lemon verbena from Master Distiller Jared’s own garden, vapour-infused fresh hand-peeled lemon to add a sharp bite, and some softer floral notes to liven up the mix. We’ve romanced the story enough so that you can be confident that Sipsmith Lemon Drizzle Gin hits the mark on authenticity, but how does it actually taste? Awesome—on the nose, you get a sense of the cake itself, a nice biscuit-y essence with plenty of zesty citrus. On the palate, the freshness hits first, followed by warming herbs and botanicals, with an underlying essence of vanilla. The finish is slightly spicy, a dash of liquorice drops in at the last moment to give you all the lemon drizzle cake goodness you craved when you saw the name on the bottle. When it comes to mixing Sipsmith Lemon Drizzle Gin, before you head straight for the tonic, why not try reinventing some of your old favourites first? Such as a mojito, a lemon drizzle sour, or even a posh version of the lemon drop, the lemon drizzle martini? • Sipsmith Lemon Drizzle Gin is a flavoured version of the brand’s iconic gin infused with a variety of lemon flavours to achieve the authentic taste of lemon drizzle cake • Includes sun-dried lemon peels, lemon verbena, fresh lemon, and a blend of botanicals • Ideal for serving up into a variety of fresh, citrus drinks
