Gin Gift Guide

Take them to India with a citrus twist   

Gifting for someone who’s got an adventurous palate? This will go down well. When Charles Tanqueray first created his famous original gin, he travelled to India to find the best botanicals, and that initial journey has inspired a differentiated Tanqueray distillation – Tanqueray Rangpur – a brilliant blend of British and Indian flavours. The rare Rangpur lime featured in this gin is a special fruit that’s actually a hybrid between a lemon and a mandarin, which gives it a truly unique citrus twist. As Pippa’s favourite palate cleanser, its zingy flavour profile works well across all seasons. Top with some ginger ale for a deliciously spicy serve.

Add a splash of colour with pink gin

This one’s for those who like their gin slightly sweet, super smooth, light and pink. Gordon’s Pink Gin is based on an original recipe that dates all the way back to the 1880s, expertly crafted to reflect the authentic taste of classic Gordon’s gin, accented with natural fruit flavours for a high quality, pure berry taste. Gin botanicals are complemented with the sweetness of raspberries and strawberries, balanced by the sharp tanginess of redcurrant. The result is a beautifully blushing, pink gin that not only looks great, but tastes great too. Why not try it in the Pink Paloma?

Whisk them away to the Italian hills  

Villa Ascenti is a romantically rustic gin from the hills of Piemonte, Italy. Steeped in the provenance of its regional ingredients, the fresh herbs are distilled within hours of harvest to capture the freshest flavour for a velvety smooth gin. The Villa Ascenti Gin is crafted with zesty Tuscan juniper berries, fresh mint, thyme and subtly sweet Moscato grapes, giving it a cool and fruity taste that’s hard to compare. It’s certified as one of the most unique and beautiful gins that Pippa’s ever tried. Which is saying a lot, coming from a gin connoisseur. A perfect gift for a gin lover who’s looking for something new.

Gift a bottle of a unique British taste   

A must-try for all gin enthusiasts, Chase gin has a unique distilling process: it’s made from potatoes instead of grain, giving it a unique and incredibly pleasing creamy mouth-feel. Once distilled, it’s transferred into copper pots with the addition of 10 botanicals, including coriander seed, cinnamon bark, and ginger, to create a flavour that’s spicy, citrusy and simply amazing. The Chase range offers a variety of flavours to explore, but Pippa’s choice would be Chase Pink Grapefruit for a zippy, zesty gin that brings a unique taste experience to classic gin cocktails.

Try a refreshing non-alcoholic option 

For those who aren’t drinking: alcohol-free alternatives for gin are booming. They’re packed with the same botanicals, meaning no compromise on flavour. One of Pippa’s favourites is Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla 0.0%, which combines bittersweet Seville oranges with orange blossom and the core botanicals from Tanqueray’s London Dry Gin. If you could bottle the sun soaked Mediterranean, this would be it. Inspired by Charles Tanqueray’s travels to Spain, this unique citrus gin was taken from an original recipe that Charles wrote over 140 years ago.     Shop Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla 0.0% 

Sample the West coast in a bottle 

A dream for those who love to try something new and unconventional, Aviation American Gin has a unique recipe, focusing on a ‘Botanical Democracy’ rather than the standard, dictatorial influence of juniper. This makes Aviation completely different from all other gins on the market and, therefore, a fantastic gift for someone special. Full bodied, with a weighty mouth feel and rich flavour profile, Aviation is an exceptional base for cocktails – particularly the Aviation from which the gin gets its namesake.
