Inspired by Craft Gin Club’s gorgeous July 2022 Gin of the Month month box, which is full of delights from across the globe, we have been thinking about our ideal getaways and the perfect snacks and cocktails to take with us.
The first thing that comes to mind is Eat Real Creamy Dill Lentil Chips, which you can find in July’s Gin of the Month box, of course.
But Eat Real also has a whole range of incredible, award-winning, feel-good snacks made from vegetables, chickpeas, lentils and quinoa that are vegan-friendly, gluten-free and made with 30% less fat than your average fried potato chip - what’s not to love!
We have picked some of our favourites and have paired them with some seriously delightful gin cocktails. Take our quiz below, putting together your ideal getaway, and we’ll pair you with the ideal Eat Real snack and cocktail combo to take with you!
