Craft Gin Club: July 2023

Craft Gin Club send a subscription box monthly to subscribers, and the subscription box includes a full-sized bottle of gin, mixers, snacks, and a "Ginned!" magazine with cocktail and food recipes featuring gin. I received the July box last month, and the below photograph and write-up explains what I received in the Craft Gin Club July 2023 box. This month's full bottle featured gin takes us to Scotland with the Great Glen Light and Zesty Highland Gin. The flavour is described as peppery and watercress with citrus and floral flavours. Sometimes I find the full bottles of gin a bit "hit or miss", but I enjoyed the gin this month and found it easy-going and not too dry. Read below to see the other items I received in the monthly box.

Bon Accord Tonic Water: Made with natural quinine and flavourings, this mixer is crisp and has citrus notes. It pairs well with the Great Glen Light and Zesty Highland Gin.

Schweppes Pink Soda: This mixer has citrus flavours and creates the perfect Pink Gin Spritz with the Great Glen Light and Zesty Highland Gin.

Grower's Garden Broccoli Chips - Sour Cream And Chive: Growers Garden have been harvesting vegetables in Fife in Scotland for generations, and the brocooli chips are made from mis-shapen broccoli that does not sell in supermarkets. 

Mangers Original Irish Cider: This cider is a blend of different varieties of apple, and it can be used as a mixer for the gin.

Taylors Potato Crisps - Cut Pickled Onion: The crisps are pickled onion flavour to pair with the gin of the month.

BZZD Energy Tonic Water: This tonic water contains natural caffeine and blossom honey to create a boost of energy. 

Dean's Shortbread Rounds: To pair with Scottish gin is Scottish shortbread. Deans is based in Aberdeenshire and is one of the popular shortbread brands.

KIND Dark Chocolate Nuts and Sea Salt Thins: These bars of chocolate are perfect for pairing with gin and contain under 100 calories.

Each month, Craft Gin Club include their own cocktail syrup for the gin cocktail and garnish for the gin and tonic. This month, the cocktail syrup is Pink Gin Spritz. The garnish is lemon and blackpepper.
