Lidl launches bank holiday gin festival which includes a lavender and rose colour-changing gin

There's another bank holiday on the way - which means it's time to let your hair down (again).

And what better way to celebrate than with a ice-cold gin and tonic?

To up your G&T game this summer Lidl is launching a British Craft Gin Festival with a number of fragrant gins from around the country.

Flavours include a Rhubarb & Ginger Gin from Wales, a fragrant Heather Rose Gin from Scotland, and a fruity Strawberry Gin from England.

But according to The Mirror , there is one bottle in particular to look out for on the shelves.

The Harborough Lavender & Rose Gin has fragrant hints of lavender and notes of juniper - and also changes colour when you pour it.

Created by Union Distillers Ltd in nearby Leicestershire, a bottle will set back shoppers £21.99.

The tipple is apparently best served with classic tonic water, ice, lemon peel and a sprig of lavender.

Premium tonic waters are also available to create your perfect G&T alongside the spirits.

Prices at Lidl's British Gin Festival start from £17.99, with products available in stores from 23 May.

You'll need to be quick though, as the boozy treats will only be available while stocks last.
