Tried this gin from @theenglishdrinksco absolutely stinks of cucumber 🥒 🥒 absolutely fabulous with @fevertreemixers ( tonic ) and so fresh and clean you will think you’ve been hit by a big sea 🌊 breeze. One of the best clean and fresh gins I’ve seen in ages beats Hendricks anytime . Try it and you won’t be disappointed. Ask me if you can’t find a supplier. 👍🏻😎#gin #botanicals #cucumber #ginandtonic #ginstagram #gintonic #iceandaslice #ginlovers
