STORY - Our Original Edition Gin was our first ever gin. Launched in March 2019, we set out to create a gin in the hope others would too that reflected both of us, our preference for gin and our town. It is distilled with a carefully selected blend of botanicals including lemon peel, orange peel and locally foraged pine needles.

TASTING NOTES - Our Original Edition Gin is a classic London Dry Gin. It is a smooth, citrus-forward dry gin with distinct notes of juniper alongside fresh, earthy pine.

AWARDS

RECOMMENDED SERVE* - Serve over lots of ice with a good quality indian tonic water. Garnish with a slice of orange.

COCKTAILS

This is an incredibly versatile gin. It is great in a G&T but also works perfectly in a range of classic gin cocktails. We've listed some of our favourites below!

NEGRONI (Paul's favourite!) - Add equal measures of Stockport Gin Original Edition, Campari and Red Vermouth into a mixing glass filled with ice and stir until chilled. Strain into a tumbler glass filled with fresh ice and garnish with a twist of orange peel.

BRAMBLE - Add 50ml of Stockport Gin Original Edition, 25ml of freshly squeezed lemon juice and 12.5ml of simple sugar syrup into a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake. Strin into a glass filled with crushed ice and drizzle Creme de Mure over the top so it 'bleeds' into the cocktail. Garnish with some fresh blackberriesa nd a slice of lemon.

* We only ever provide a 'recommended serve' for our gins - there is no such thing as a 'perfect serve' as we think it's very important that people enjoy their gin the way they want to - be that with indian tonic, skinny tonic, lemonade, ginger ale or any other mixer you prefer!
