GOOSEBERRY GIN LAUNCHED FOR SUMMMER

1st July 2009

Demijohn has uncovered the best surprise ever from under a gooseberry bush – a Gooseberry Gin Liqueur from Cheshire. Love them or hate them, gooseberries are a traditional part of a British summer, and when taken in this liquid alcoholic form are truly irresistible.

When the dynamic Rosie Sedgewick from Cheshire was challenged with a glut of gooseberries on her father-in-law’s allotment she decided to combine her love of quirky drinks with this remarkable fruit and developed a stunning, delicious Gooseberry Gin Liqueur.

Best served long with tonic, it makes a magnificent aperitif and a welcome change to the usual G&T.

Demijohn Owner Angus Ferguson says: “As far as we know our Gooseberry Gin Liqueur is the only one of its type in the world, and nothing could be more summery. Rosie began making it for us a year or so ago, but with our help and guidance it has been re-developed into a truly wonderful new drink ready for this season.  It has a delicate sweetness followed by an explosion of exciting gooseberry flavour that is almost peppery.  If you like gooseberries and gin, this will be your drink this Summer!”

The creator of this spectacular liqueur for Demijohn is as unique as the drink. As an ex-hospital pharmacist Rosie is very creative. Up there with her love of horse riding and belly dancing is her love of exciting drinks and this is one her best.

Priced at £3.80/100ml it is available online from: www.demijohn.co.uk or from the shops in Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Give your summer evenings a peppery kick with Gooseberry Gin!
