Hosting your favourite people at home is one of life's pleasures, especially if you all love a good gin.

If you're looking to stock up your home bar (or cabinet) with the best gins, or simply fancy trying something new, then we're here to help. Legendary mixologist, Pippa Guy, shares her recommendations on the top 5 essential gins every bar should have. Because your friends deserve gin-licious drinks.

01. Gordon's 0,0% - all flavours, no alcohol

Gordon's 0,0% is made with the same botanicals as Gordon's Gin, but without the alcohol. And it tastes just as good. Because everyone should be able to enjoy their precious moments, whether they drink or not.

02. Villa Ascenti Rosa - refreshingly distinctive with a smooth taste

Villa Ascenti Rosa is a delicious Italian gin that perfectly captures the unique fruity taste of ripe peaches grown from the hills of Piemonte, Italy. The peaches and Brachetto grape distillate are balanced with Tuscan juniper berries to offer a subtly sweet yet smooth finish.

03. Tanqueray Rangpur - delicious gin in an iconic green glass bottle

"Tanqueray Rangpur is the most underrated of the Tanqueray distilled gins, in my opinion. The Ginger, lime and bay leaf make an incredible palette cleanser." – Pippa Guy.

04. Gordon's Mediterranean Orange - the pleasures of the Mediterranean in a bottle 

Gordon's Mediterranean Orange is like a first sip into gin for those who tend to drink vodka. It’s orange flavoured, with the classic taste of Gordon's Gin. A great year-round tipple that's perfect for everything from catchups in the garden to cosy nights in by the fire.

05. Tanqueray No. TEN - a blast of fresh citrus with every single sip

"Tanqueray No. Ten – the gin no bar in the world should be without. It's the crème de la crème of all premium gins and makes the world's best martinis. It's what gin was designed for." – Pippa Guy
