Hello, readers, and welcome to 2024! Craft Gin Club is a monthly subscription box for gin lovers, and the box comes with a full-sized bottom of gin, mixers, snacks, and a "Ginned!" magazine with cocktail and food recipes featuring gin. This post features January 2024's box, which arrived at the start of the month. This month's full bottle featured gin is Cscave Gin from Wales. It is described as a refreshing and light gin that is perfect for January, and I found it to my liking. The gin is produced in the Brecon Beacons with water filtered through caverns, and the botanicals are also local. Keep reading to see the mixers and snacks I received.
Double Dutch Cranberry and Ginger Tonic: This is a wintery-flavoured tonic water that is low in sugar and made without bad ingredients. This is the tonic that pairs well with the monthly gin.
SWISH alcohol-free cocktail: Subscribers received one of three flavours from Smoked Pineapple Margarita, Key Lime Pie Mojito, or Naughty Passionfruit Martini. I received the passionfruit one, which tasted good. All of the flavours sounded good to me.
Tregroes Waffles: This duo of waffles can be heated warm or eaten cool and paired with the gin and tonic this month. I'm normally not a fan of these, but these tasted good with just the right ratio of waffle batter to sugar syrup.
Acti-Vit: This drink is caffeine and sugar free and is a mixer that also helps the immune system and keep the body energised, which is important at this time of the year.
Good and Honest Sweet and Salty Popped Crisps: This is a popped crisp snack, which is a healthy alternative to fried snacks, and it is made from potato.
Heartsease Farm Sparkling Lemonade: This product is made in Wales, and it's won awards. I absolutely loved the taste, and it uses natural ingredients. I want to buy more of this.
Mighty Fine Vegan Salted Carmel Honeycomb Bar: This snack is a chocolate-covered honeycomb bar, and it does not use honey, so it is vegan. It actually paired really well with the gin too.
Brown Bag Rosemary and Salt Crisps: These crisps are produced in Surrey by a small family-run operation and are delicious; they pair well with gin and tonic.
Lemon slics and juniper berries have been provided as a garnish for the gin and tonic, and the cocktail of the month is 'Blue Lagoon', so I received some special 'Blue Lagoon' syrup to make the cocktail.
