Bluebird bar and restaurant and The Botanist Gin have teamed up to host a supperclub on Wednesday 13th June with a spring menu inspired by The Botanist Gin botanicals. The menu uses foraged and seasonal flavours and herbs to create dishes that match the Islay herbs, flowers and botanicals found on the Hebridean Island where the gin is distilled. The tables will be decorated with an abundance of herbs and The Botanist Gin cocktails will be plenty.
If this all sounds too complicated, you can’t go wrong with a good old fashioned Gordon’s Gin & Tonic.
Did you know that wild junipers from Tuscany are handpicked and left to air dry for 18 months to allow the aroma and flavour to intensify? Only then are they ready to face the tough selection process to see if they make the cut. Every single juniper berry is painstakingly tested, so much that they receive over 500 samples each year but only 1 in 10 berries pass. Remember that as you sip and savour this refreshing tipple instead of knocking it back. Fancy mixing it up a bit? Try making this recipe at home…
