Taking the concept of mocktails and non alcoholic beer to a whole new level, “alt-gin” options such as Lumette! from Sheringham Distillery add flavour and sophistication for those who prefer a little less buzz with their beverage.

Or, you may prefer to stick with the classic, distinctive flavour from the Shelter Point Hand Foraged Botanical Gin. But either way, combined with Beaufort Vineyard’s new Vermouth and the bright flavours of elderflower and kiwi, this cocktail is the perfect choice to welcome spring.
