We were asked by That Boutique-y Gin Company to create the ultimate twist on a classic – Mojito Gin. No mean feat!
To embody this infamous rum cocktail in a gin, we started with a molasses spirit, which we distilled with fresh mint and lime peel alongside the more classic gin botanicals of juniper berry, angelic root, orris root and coriander seed.
The molasses base spirit delivers extra smoothness and a touch of rum-like sweetness, while the botanicals perfectly combine the dry spice of a London Dry gin with the exotic intensity of lime and mint.
Sorry rum lovers, you now love gin.

Mojito G&T
Sorry rum lovers, you now love gin.
Ingredients
Rustle up a G&T like no other. Punchy and perpetually surprising, put down your shakers and sugar syrup and create a simpler version of the mojito cocktail.
Method
If you’re a G&T lover, you can make this with your eyes shut: grab a gorgeous glass, pour over the Mojito Gin, top with tonic water and garnish with fresh mint and a lime wedge. Totally tropical.
Tasting Notes
Aroma
Initially there’s a burst of peppermint followed by an underlay of sweet icing sugar and earthy juniper. Ripe lime emerges with time.
Taste
The herbaceous notes add spice to the returning mint and bright juniper. More lime citrus and a little vanilla essence are present underneath.
Finish
Inescapable menthol mint and a touch of black peppercorn spice lingers.
