Lockdown cocktails week 8: a Tom Collins and a special offer for Father's Day

Ok, it's not till next Sunday, but now's the time to get prepared for Father's Day. We've been thinking about simple but tasty ideas for the big day. If you don't live with your dad, you can get him the ingredients and easily guide him through it from a safe social distance!

If you use the code DADGIN on our website by noon on Tuesday, 16th June, you can order your dad the gin of your choice with a £5 discount and we'll throw in a Dairy Milk Oreo bar for him to enjoy with it, and a hand-written note with a message of your choice. If you miss the cut off, you can still order for the big day up until noon on Thursday, 19th June, but the discount will be reduced to £2.50 to cover the extra postage costs to make sure it gets there on time.

Today's lockdown cocktail is a classic - a Tom Collins with our Orange & Quince gin.  The gin enhances the citrussy freshness of the cocktail and the quince adds an edge of jammy fruitiness.  Here's to fathers everywhere!

Make sugar syrup by adding 50g of sugar and 25ml of water to a saucepan, stirring over a low heat until dissolved and then cooling. Mix 50ml of Orange & Quince gin with 25ml of lemon juice and 15ml of sugar syrup (or up to 25ml if you like your drinks sweeter), pour over ice and top up with 125ml (or as much as you like) of sparkling water.
