of tonic (depending on the gin/strength of how you like it, we recommend trying Double Dutch tonics) A Gold-winner at the World Vodka Awards 2021, this marvellous tipple has an ultra-smooth, sumptuously soft mouthfeel and is brilliantly clean and crystal clear.

Here, ILoveGin takes a look at cherry gin, exploring the different types currently available, the perfect mixers and where you can find it.

There are a number of different cherry flavoured gins available, offering up wonderfully sweet tastes – for example, the JJ Whitley Pink Cherry Gin offers an aroma of fresh orange almonds, its tasting notes going on to describe this initial sweetness as “leading into marzipan, sour cherry and juniper on the palate.”Bring the water, sugar and rosemary to simmer in a pan until all of the sugar has dissolved, the allow to cool and remove the rosemary (keep in the fridge, it should last for a week) Gently give it a stir so that it all mixes, garnish with a sprig of rosemary and wedge of lime or peach on the top.

Cook on a low-medium heat, stirring every now and again until it has a slight syrup consistancy and the rhubarb is soft and starts to break down (approx 15-20mins) Another one of our favourite apple gins at the moment, Elemental Cornish Apple Gin is infused with apples as well as elderflower. The gin pairs nicely with an elderflower tonic, or with apple juice – creating the perfect Gin Appletini. In this innovative, sun-dappled bar, guests will be introduced to new members of the Modern Love family – from an ultra-smooth vodka to whiskey aged in ex-cabernet sauvignon barrels, their shelves will be lined with all sorts of cutting-edge creations.
