Celebrate World Calvados Day

Posted / in Cocktails, News and tagged , , , , ,

World Calvados Day

This is apple harvest time and Friday 20th October is World Calvados Day. To celebrate we thought you might like to try something new.

Apple Calvados is a lovely, warming drink to enjoy on an autumnal evening:

Place a piece of root ginger and a cinnamon stick in a pan over a low heat. Pour in 50ml of Toutain Reserve 3yo Calvados and 150ml of fresh apple juice. Stirring constantly, heat the cocktail but do not let it boil. As soon as it warms up to 70/80 degrees C, pour it into a glass and serve.

And if calvados is not your spirit of choice, then how about some apple gin? Produced in Denmark, our organic Mosgaard Filippa Gin is made from spicy, sweet Filippa apples that have a fresh acidity after harvest. These fresh apples are macerated in the distilled spirit giving a velvet smooth and fresh apple flavoured gin. Try it with tonic because Thursday 19th October is International Gin & Tonic Day!

World Gin Day – Saturday 11th June 2022

Posted / in News and tagged , , , , , , ,

World Gin DayYet another alcohol related special day occurs this Saturday; it is World Gin Day.  According to the website its purpose is:

‘Simple, it’s a day for everyone and anyone (over the legal drinking age of course…!) to celebrate and enjoy gin! Whether you’re already a fan of the juniper spirit, or looking for an intro, World Gin Day is the perfect opportunity to get involved.’

And World Gin Day has been going for a while now:

‘World Gin Day itself was actually founded by Neil Houston in 2009, a very bright idea to bring his friends together to drink gin in Birmingham! Emma and Neil were already firm gin-friends, and so it made sense to bring the celebrations to London in 2010, involving some of Emma’s friends too, in a lovely little gin bar called Graphic in Soho. Since then the day has grown year on year, reaching an ever bigger audience.’

So what better excuse to try some new producers and flavours?  Our gins come from Denmark.  Produced by Mosgaard, they are all certified organic and come in a range of flavours from Tangerine to Oak Cask Aged.  Follow this link and get into the party spirit for next Saturday.
