Nouaison Gin Reserve recently won the coveted ‘out of the ordinary’ spirits prize at this year’s People’s Choice Drinks Awards; a category that was sponsored by us, The Three Drinkers! It’s an intriguing spirit, made by distilling French grapes (like Cognac), which is then redistilled with botanicals, herbs, fruit and spices using traditional Gin methods, before being aged in Cognac-seasoned oak barrels. It’s Gin meets Cognac in a quirky and complex way, but it absolutely works. Sip it alone or try it in one of these three delicious serves.
Helena’s Choice: Stinger
I love the Nouaison Gin Reserve in this cocktail for something totally out of the ordinary. The mint really lifts the botanicals and the cream enhances the spice. The result is something unlike anything you’ve tasted before and totally moreish.

Aidy’s Choice: Smash & Fresh
You know I love my Gin sours and this serve offers something very different from the norm that your guests will adore. With a refreshing kick from the Absinthe cordial and lemon juice combo, it’s the perfect kick starter to any meal or festive occasion. I know I know, absinthe does come with a stigma that it’s way too powerful and overbearing, but trust me, everything here balances together so well - you will be super surprised and thoroughly refreshed!
