The English Drinks Co: New Lime Tree Gin

The English Drinks Company have added  – Lime Tree Gin – to their citrus range of premium gins which includes The Lemon Grove Gin – infused with luscious lemons and The Orangery Gin – infused with Valencian oranges.

The new flavour is fresh and perfectly suited for the lovely summer weather, outside with a long glass of gin & tonic and loads of ice.  A slice of lime makes the perfect garnish!

With the end of the school term recently came the question of what to get your child’s teacher for a present.  I spoke to one teacher who said she would love something different as an end of term present other than chocolates, flowers or perfumes.  Here is an idea – how about all the parents chipping in to buy the teacher a bottle of gin! I bet he or she would really appreciate that especially if it was a bottle of The English Drinks Co’s new Lime Tree Gin!!!

Or if you have a teacher friend invite them over for dinner and serve my Lime Tree Gin Dessert as a treat. It will cheer up any social gathering in fact!
