Unfortunately, this item is not available in your country.
Order by 5pm Monday to Thursday for next working day delivery.

Our Cotswolds Dry Gin Essence is made using ten times the botanical concentration of our Cotswolds Dry Gin. This adds up to a truly enormous amount of flavour per unit of alcohol which means you can use it to make a lighter and deliciously refreshing G&T with all of the flavour and 90% less alcohol than a standard 50ml serve of Cotswolds Dry Gin. Each 5ml serve contains 0.23 units of alcohol and 14 calories. One bottle makes a total of 20 G&Ts.

Our Dry Gin Essence packs all the flavour into a fraction of the alcohol, with 90% less alcohol than a standard 50ml gin serve.
We use nine carefully-considered botanicals to make our Cotswolds Dry Gin Essence. Juniper berries, coriander seed and angelica root form the base botanicals, to which we add local lavender from the Cotswolds, freshly-peeled pink grapefruit & lime zest, bay leaves, black peppercorn and cardamom seed.
