What makes the Cambridge Dry Gin, Rosemary & Lemon Verbena Edition special? Couple William and Lucy were inspired to create this vibrant gin while out walking with their dog Darcy in the countryside. When they joined the industry, they felt that many gins had a recipe that was very similar to all of the others.
They wanted to create something different, that involved local, delicately flavoured botanicals. As it’s tricky to grow lemons and limes in Cambridge (cheers - British weather!), they found their citrus notes in the herb garden instead, by using lemon verbena.
Luckily, their garden was overflowing with the stuff, as well as basil and blossoms - so they made a gin to reflect the beauty and ambition of Cambridge. The end result? A beautifully refreshing expression of the English seasons.
What’s the perfect G&T with Cambridge Dry Gin, Rosemary & Lemon Verbena Edition? Keep it simple with a premium Indian tonic and garnish with lots of fresh mint.

What makes the Singapore Dry Gin special? The melting pot of cultures and world-class food and drink scene of Singapore inspired Jamie to make her mark on the gin industry! Her talent for flavours and passion for spirits led to the creation of this incredible Dry Gin.
After travelling, Jamie realised she found local cuisines the best way to explore each country she visited. When it came to alcohol, every country had something unique. As a Singaporean, that got her thinking: why didn’t they have a craft spirit to call their own?
She then embarked on a six-year-long odyssey into the world of gin – a journey that would take her around the world on a quest to learn the art and science of distillation. The more she learned, the more she became convinced that gin was the right spirit to capture the essence of Singapore. And that’s where Brass Lion Singapore Dry Gin comes in.
What’s the perfect G&T with Singapore Dry Gin? Serve with Twisted Premium Tonic Water Thai Lime & Lemongrass and garnish with pink peppercorns and pineapple pieces.
What’s the best cocktail serve with Singapore Dry Gin? A Singapore Fling. A simpler version of the Singapore Sling, it has all the key flavours of the classic cocktail!
