Spotlight on Spring Flowers
Written by our resident forager, Sammie, sharing some of the season’s most recognisable wild blooms and their traditional culinary and medicinal uses
World Gin Day is a global celebration of all things gin. The idea is simple: get people together all around the world with a legitimate excuse (not that we usually need one!) to drink some gin, whether it’s in a cocktail, G&T or neat.
It is a day for everyone and anyone (over drinking age of course…!) to celebrate and enjoy gin! Whether you’re already a fan of the juniper spirit, or looking for an intro, World Gin Day is the perfect opportunity to get involved.
So to help you celebrate, our friends at Chase Distillery have shared a couple of their favourite classic Gin cocktails so that you can get shaking and stirring at home this weekend.
Chase Distillery's GB Gin is crafted by copper pot distilling Chase Vodka with 10 botanicals; juniper, coriander seed, bitter almond, cinnamon bark, ginger, cloves, angelica root, liquorice root, lemon peel, and cardamom. Find out how it is made here!
This Great British Extra Dry gin is is smooth and full bodied and is perfectly balanced with juniper, spice and citrus. It's a must try for gin lovers!

Measure all ingredients into a mixing glass with cubed ice and stir until well combined. Double strain into a rocks glass over cubed ice and garnish with lemon peel and thyme.

Add all ingredients except the soda and around 7 mint leaves into a glass half full with cubed ice. Churn with a bar spoon until combined and top with soda. Give a final stir and garnish with a mint sprig.
In celebration of World Gin Day on June 13th, for this week only, when you purchase a bottle of Chase flavoured gin, you’ll receive a complimentary Chase copper bar spoon with your order. Be quick, there is only a limited amount available!
