This weekend sees the first Scottish Gin Fest hosted by Grays’ Deli in Glasgow - www.graysdeli.com (sold out). We have been lucky enough to be chosen to be used in a feature cocktail - The Grasshopper - with our Chocolate Mint Gin. So we asked the ladies at Gin Shed 22 - a local private gin club - to make up the cocktail and give us a review. You can see that they made a fair few up and the photography is less than perfect - I wonder how many they had had before??
The reactions: - Very positive
“Lovely they where 🍸xxx” “These were delicious. A great way to start a lovely evening” “Loved these” “Yum”
