SIPSMITH have launched a new Chilli and Lime gin, and it looks like the perfect summer drink.
Ideal for use in margaritas and mojitos, it’s the first gin to be released as part of their Sipping Series.
Sipsmith have launched their new Chilli & Lime Gin, after months of experimentation and we can’t wait to get our hands on a bottle.
- Sipsmith Chilli & Lime Gin, £28.50 – buy here
The new Chilli and Lime will be available direct from Sipsmith.com, as well as a number of selected major UK retailers including John Lewis, Tesco, and Waitrose from the 19 July.
It’ll set you back £28.50, and is perfect for those looking for something a little bit different this summer.
It’s been released in limited small bath runs to ensure a premium taste, but that means you’ll need to be quick if you want to get your hands on a bottle – as it won’t be around for ever.
Made with fresh lime and seven fruity and complex chillies from around the world, it’s perfect for use in summer cocktails such as margaritas and mojitos.
The zingy taste also is perfectly complemented by tonic water, and a wedge of lime.
Head of Ginovation at Sipsmith, and creator of the Chilli & Lime Gin, Ciarán Russell said: “ We’re always on the lookout for ingredients which we believe could make delicious and exciting flavoured gin and we go to great lengths to source our fresh ingredients and perfect our distilling processes to make our handcrafted gins the very best they can be.
“By building complimentary flavour profiles on top of our original London Dry Gin base we continuously trial, test and review the liquids to ensure that only the finest flavours created at the distillery are put on shelves for all to enjoy.
“We decided that zesty limes paired with our blend of seven specially sourced and taste matched chillies for a kick of flavour was the ultimate way to launch our Sipping Series range and we hope that sippers agree!”
