46% ABV: Cotswolds Gin Essence
Cotswolds Dry Gin Essence is a full strength gin designed to reduce the amount of product and thus alcohol required in a G&T whilst at the same time retaining the intensity of flavour.

The result is a lighter and deliciously refreshing gin, with all the taste and 90% less alcohol than the standard 50 ml serve.

5ml (5 pipettes) Cotswolds Dry Gin Essence | 15ml Elderflower Cordial | 7.5ml Lime Juice | 8 Raspberries | Kombucha or Soda

RRP: £17.95 for 100ml (20 serves). ABV: 46%. Available from Cotswolds Distillery.
