Bramble Cocktail Recipe
Created in 1984 by the innovative Dick Bradsell when he was working as Head Bartender at Fred's Club in Soho, London this gin cocktail is redolent of the season of 'mists and mellow fruitfulness'. Not surprising then that it was born out of a nostalgia for Dick's childhood spent blackberrying on the Isle of Wight.

Boe Violet Gin Review
Scottish gins seem to be the thing these days and with a centuries-old distilling history its no surprise that they are leading the charge in the latest gin boom. Boe Gin is right up there at the front and their second expression is no (excuse the pun) shrinking violet but a gin to be reckoned with. The Boe gins are quality gins with pedigree, the Scottish Gin winning a silver at the World Gin Awards in 2014. So far in their ‘family’, there is the original Scottish Gin, the Violet and a couple of liqueurs: Peach & Hibiscus and Bramble. And I’m sure these four won’t be their last.

Lotus Cocktail Recipe
The colour of this cocktail is quite striking and for those of you who like a bit of fruitiness in their gin this one will hit the sweet spot. Less dry than other martini style cocktails, the lychee syrup adds fruitiness and piquancy of flavour.
