Britain and the British have a long reputation for making and enjoying gin, but with the advent of craft gin companies this has risen to new heights. So I was excited to sample Cantium Rubesco Pink Gin from the Kent-based company.
Cantium Gin major on infusing their gins with locally-grown botanicals and the Rubesco Pink Gin is a fine example, infused with strawberries and raspberries. Some flavoured gins are too sweet for my palette, but this retains the characteristics of a pure gin with a light fruity enhancement, true to the natural fruit flavour.
The full-sized bottles double up as a flask, which is a real bonus as they are both attractive and useful, keeping drinks cold, or hot.
Do check out the website for a fine selection of gin and accessories.
