We mentioned this isn\u2019t just any old gin, that\u2019s because Hoxton Gin comes from expert mixologist and entrepreneur Gerry Calabrese. Those in the know will have heard the name before, perhaps whilst sipping one of the many signature cocktails Gerry has created and served up around London. Or perhaps it might be that you\u2019ve frequented Gerry\u2019s bar, The Hoxton Pony in East London, for its acclaimed drinks, entertainment and sustainable -sourced food.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
More about the gin\u2019s creator in a moment, but first here\u2019s more about the spirit. Gin is traditionally based on a juniper character and distilled with tasteful tones. Here\u2019s where Hoxton Gin comes into its own as this ethically sourced spirits’ ingredients include coconut, grapefruit, iris, tarragon and ginger. You might be thinking that is quite a flavour combo there, but it all works together perfectly – the gin is smooth and rounded in its taste.<\/p>\n

The tipple has head notes of grapefruit and coconut and this poses a great versatile base for classic cocktails such as the Tom Collins and timeless G&T, but with added twist. However, Hoxton Gin can also be served on its own too, very much like a Naked Martini. Simply serve this gin straight from the freezer into an ice cold martini glass and enjoy. It\u2019s this kind of versatility that makes this gin a staple bottle for your cabinet \u2013 something you, your lady and your friends can saviour regardless on the serve of your gin.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The spirit\u2019s creator Gerry is recognised by those in the bar and restaurant industry as an innovator in the field \u2013 a character Elysium regards highly, with another hat-tip from the discerning gent.<\/p>\n
