Shakespeare Distillery Launches New Summer Citrus Gin

“The Kaffir Lime & Orange Gin is the perfect refreshing drink to sip on a lovely warm summer evening”
GIN

Shakespeare Distillery has launched a new limited-edition Kaffir Lime & Orange Gin, featuring a refreshing blend of citrus flavours, perfect for the summer.

The team at the independent artisan spirit producer love experimenting with different flavours to create delicious new spirits which they regularly release as special editions in limited quantities. The team have layered kaffir lime leaves, lime peel, orange peel and lemon thyme to give a depth of citrus flavour and combined with almonds, ginger, black peppercorns as well as the traditional juniper, coriander and orris to create a fully rounded and balanced dry gin. They suggest serving with Fever-tree Tonic water, ice, and a wedge of lime. Alternatively they recommend shaking it up into a White Lady cocktail.

Simon Picken, Director at Shakespeare Distillery said: “We’re delighted to launch our latest limited-edition Citrus Gin and add another Distillery Special to our portfolio of premium, handcrafted products. The Kaffir Lime & Orange Gin is the perfect refreshing drink to sip on a lovely warm summer evening.”

The Kaffir Lime & Orange Gin is available in three bottle options and retails at £34 for a 50cl bottle, £17.50 for a 20cl bottle and £6.50 for 5cl bottle. These can be purchased online, at the distillery shop or from the shop at No 1 High Street, Stratford-upon-Avon.

Shakespeare Distillery, which was founded in 2015 by Simon Picken and Peter Monks, is Stratford-upon-Avon's only working distillery and produces a series of spirits including Stratford Gin, Jester Rum, and distillery specials. The Distillery also provides daily tours and other experiences including a Gin School, Cocktail Masterclasses and River Avon Gin Tasting Cruises. In 2022 the company expanded its business in the town centre and opened a brand-new experiences space with a Rum School.

Since The Store opened on the former site of Boswells it has become my go-to place to meet friends. Squishy velvet sofas, friendly staff, delicious coffee and a relaxed yet luxurious vibe (reluxed?). There’s also the possibility of spotting an A-lister amongst the mix of glamorous guests and locals hanging out in the lounge or slipping through to retreat down to the spa. I’ve also cocktailed on the roof (those views!) and dined at Treadwell, the hotel’s modern British restaurant, so I didn’t need asking twice if I would like to go along to review the new Spring menu.
