Summer evenings beckon and with this in mind the mixologists from the gin like no other – Brockmans Gin – have created four new summer cocktails, three of which are contemporary twists on classic drinks.
If G&T is your ‘go to’ use for gin, then why not? It’s delicious. However, the complex and seductively smooth combination of botanicals in Brockmans lends this spirit to being shaken and stirred into some equally easy yet deliciously different cocktails. Make 2018 a summer of surprises…
Brockmans tastes mysterious but fortunately there is no mystery when it comes to obtaining it. You can buy Brockmans Gin in over 130 M&S branches, Wine Rack, Oddbins, Harvey Nichols, Asda and Booths as well as many specialist and online retailers. It is priced at around £34.
