Gin Gin Botanicals - create  the Ultimate Gin Experience

You can make your own gin, enhance the flavours of a gin  or simply make beautiful looking drinks with our handy stackable set of gin botanicals that have been carefully curated to give you the best flavours in your gin drinks.  We have worked hard to ethically source the best quality botanicals and have added edible gold leaf to the stack to make the best looking drinks around.

​

Each botanical contains a different health benefit and if you are not drinking alcohol they make for a fantastic healthy drink (that tastes like gin) just add sparking water.  To find out the benefits of different botanicals that make up gin we have created a handy chart down the page..

​

We also stock large ice spheres to really let you make the best drinks.  The large sphere of ice melts at a much slower rate than smaller ice cubes preventing your drink from being watered down.  They also look so good!  You can add edible flowers, the gold leaf, spices, fruit to make beautiful, Instagram worthy cocktails every day.

GinGin Botanical Ingredients

Juniper Berry 

The core botanical in every gin. Adds a light spicy and bittersweet taste. Lightly crush the berries before putting them in the glass to help release the flavour. For something different try adding a slice of fresh apple or juice.

​

Cardamom Pod

Cardamom will add an intense, sweet and slightly spicy citrus  flavour. Try adding lime juice or rind and coffee beans for an unusual but delicious combination. 

​

Cinnamon Stick

Cinnamon sticks look fabulous in a cocktail while adding ....  Pairs perfectly with Orange and Star Anise. It supports gut health, lowers blood pressure and can aid an aging brain.

​

Pink Peppercorn 

Sweet, fruity flavour with a slightly bitter spicy note. Gently Squeeze a couple of peppercorns with your fingers to add a fruity aroma and pleasant sweetness.

​

It is advisable to use a straw with this one as the skins can come away and you may not like drinking them.  Other options would be to strain before drinking or use the peppercorns in a tea infuser. Complimentary flavours include cinnamon, ginger, mint, rosemary and basil.

​

Star Anise

Star Anise will add a sweet, aniseed, slightly peppery flavour to your drink. For a festive cocktail add orange peel and cinnamon.  Star Anise is an antioxidant and can aid digestion.
