With people looking to cut down their alcohol intake and possibly reset their drinking habits we have a selection of low and no alcohol drinks from The Cotswolds Distillery to enjoy this October
Cotswolds Dry Gin Essence, designed to reduce the amount of alcohol required in a G&T or gin-based cocktails, whilst at the same time retaining intensity of flavour.
Cotswold Dry Gin Essence (ABV 46%) is made using ten times the botanical concentration of their award-winning Cotswolds Dry Gin. This results in a huge amount of flavour per unit of alcohol. Cotswolds Gin Essence is so rich in botanical character that just 5ml is needed for a full flavour G&T, which has 1/10th of the alcohol of the usual Cotswolds signature serve.
Cotswolds Dry Gin Essence comes in a 100ml bottle with a pipette and provides 20 serves. Five full pipette drops of gin amount to 5ml (a teaspoon) which is the recommended amount for one Gin Essence serve. Cotswolds Dry Gin Essence contains 14 calories per 5ml serve and just 0.23 units of alcohol.
Suggested serve:
Fill a copa glass with ice and add 5ml of Cotswolds Dry Gin Essence (5 full drops). Top with 200ml of your favourite tonic water and garnish with a slice of grapefruit.
