Craft Gin Club gin subscription

Give a gift that keeps on giving with a gin subscription. We tested out the best gin subscriptions and clubs to find the perfect one for you, from Sipsmith limited edition gins to clubs specialising in fun flavours, Scottish gins or local gins to your area.

Procera blue dot gin

• Available from Amathus Drinks (£76.10), Amazon (£78.95)

This is a really special, rare gin to buy a gin connoisseur. Procera is the world’s first gin to use African berries, a variety of juniper grown in the sun-soaked highland forests of Kenya. These hand-picked, air-dried berries add a uniquely nutty and earthy character to the gin, along with a rare variety of African botanicals. The combination of floral Moroccan orris root, citrusy Kenyan pixie orange and Swahili lime, Somalian acacia honey and warm spices including Zanzibari cardamom, Nigerian Selim pepper and Madagascan pink peppercorns to finish, provides a complex gin true to its African terroir. The stunning hand-blown glass bottle and palm wood stopper are created in Nairobi by Kenyan artisans, making it a showstopping gift to give and keep on display even after the gin has been drunk.

Sip: 100 cocktails with only 3 ingredients

Sipsmith’s new gin cocktail book is a compendium of 100 fuss-free recipes, each with no more than three ingredients. What’s not to love? You can find all the classics here – from negronis to martinis – as well as plenty of lesser-known creations deserving of revival. These include the gin & it (gin, vermouth, orange bitters); the hanky panky (gin, sweet vermouth, Fernet-Branca) or even the dog’s nose (a wintry marriage of gin with dark treacle and porter).

VonHaus Manhattan silver cocktail set

• Available from VonHaus (£19.99)

Gin makes the base for many a great cocktail, whether a gin martini or gin fizz. This starter cocktail set has everything you need to shake up cocktails in seconds, with a stainless steel shaker, double jigger, strainer, measure and bar spoon.

Available from:
VonHaus (£19.99)

Ki No Bi Kyoto Japanese Dry Gin

• Available from Amazon (£44.89), The Whisky Exchange (£47.50)

Treat your favourite gin lover to this unique Japanese spirit, served in a stylish bottle perfect for gifting. Meaning ‘the beauty of the seasons’, this Japanese creation is made using a rice spirit base distilled with regional botanicals including yuzu, hinoki wood chips (Japanese cyprus), sansho pepper and gyokuro green tea. A decidedly elegant gin, whose classic juniper notes match well with the unusual local ingredients.
