The mini copper stills are set and it is time to enjoy a cocktail while everyone waits for their Gin to start distilling.

For my French 75 and other Champagne cocktails, I've also been on a Hendrick's kick, which has a gentle character and hint of rose petals. We welcome visitors to the Gin Lab, to learn about distilling and the different botanicals, design their recipe and to distil their very own personalised bottle of London Dry style gin (70 cl).I added an extra tablespoon of juniper berries to this gin recipe because I wanted a juniper-forward gin. You’ll create a label for your bottle of gin (70 cl) and the final step is to apply the red wax to seal it. In addition to these essential gin cocktails, some other exciting ways to put your DIY gin to work include this fizzy gin and Lillet punch, an Aperol gin punch, a watermelon crawl, a Sergeant Pepper, or perhaps a frozen gin and tonic. However, gin in its most basic form is actually pretty straightforward: it’s simply a neutral spirit flavoured with botanicals (that’s any plant material used as a way to add flavour). If we have an insufficient number of people to run the class we may need to contact you to reschedule.
