If you’re having guests over this weekend, and want to delight them with a delightful new gin - then may we entice you to the latest edition from Sipsmith? Introducing Sipsmith Strawberry Smash Gin - set to be the drink of the summer.
As the Official Gin Partner of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships, Sipsmith has turned its attention to the quintessentially British strawberry for the latest edition in its range of handcrafted gins.
Committed to going to extraordinary lengths to make the best gin possible, the team of Sipsmith distillers blended ripe Kentish strawberries from Hugh Lowe Farms (the exclusive grower of Wimbledon strawberries), with seasonal English mint layering these flavours onto the original London Dry Gin base with its citrus and juniper notes.
The spirit has been expertly blended and refined to create a fruity and refreshing gin, guaranteed to tantalise the tastebuds of all sippers.
Sipsmith Strawberry Smash is now available online from 31Dover.com, Majestic Wine and Amazon, as well as directly from sipsmith.com. You can also buy it from Tesco.com and in-stores nationwide for £28.50.
Mick Desmond, Commercial & Media Director at The All England Lawn Tennis Club, commented: “We are delighted that Sipsmith has chosen to mark its first year as an Official Partner of The Championships with the launch of this celebratory gin, made with traditional Wimbledon strawberries. The anticipation of our passionate Wimbledon fans is building as we begin a return towards normality and we hope The Championships will have an exciting role to play during the UK summer.”
Sipsmith Master Distiller, Jared Brown says: “This year with Sipsmith becoming the Official Gin Partner of Wimbledon we felt it was quite right to harness the taste of British summertime and use last year’s Championships strawberries to make this year’s champion gin.”
“As with all of our innovative gins we crafted Strawberry Smash to our exacting standards by layering complimentary sweet ripe strawberries, fresh English mint and refreshing citrus fruits on top of our original London Dry Gin base to create a delightfully fruity and refreshing gin with a smooth and balanced finish.”
“We’re passionate about making sure each of the gins that leave our distillery is quite right and hope that sippers will recognise this pursuit for perfection in the gin, and will be delighted by each sip whether they’re treating themselves to a classic G&T or a delicious strawberry serve this summer.”
A versatile gin which is sure to be a hit with all sippers this summer, Strawberry Smash is the perfect way to elevate the quintessential G&T or as part of a delicious gin cocktail.
For the ultimate G&T serve simply mix with premium tonic water, over ice with a strawberry garnish.
Alternatively, for cocktail loving sippers Strawberry Smash is a delicious way to elevate cocktails, such as the Strawberry Spritz and Strawberry Smash Collins, with just a few simple ingredients.
The perfect treat to toast this much anticipated summer, or even your first knock-up on a local grass court this season, don't you think?
If that doesn’t sound like summer in a glass, we don’t want it.
