It’s the quality of its ingredients that makes this cocktail so special! Let’s takes a look at each one:
Cotton Garden Gin
Made exclusively for Craft Gin Club members by Yorkshire’s Otterbeck Distillery, who were also behind Captain Sir Tom’s London Dry Gin, this delicious tipple was inspired by Yorkshire’s rolling countryside and the gardens that sit next to the distillery itself. With garden herbs like rosemary, sage, thyme and mint used as botanicals, along with citrus fruit and elderberries, it’s a herbaceous and citrusy gin with a rich, earthy base.
Otterbeck’s Cotton Garden Gin is a beautiful expression featuring all of the traditional English garden flavours and aromas you can experience at this time of year [September]. Given the gin’s fresh centre, it’s easy to taste where the inspiration for this special edition has come from - not least bountiful Yorkshire Dales which are on the distillery’s doorstep.

Heartsease Farm Raspberry Lemonade
Made on Heartsease Farm in Wales, using the farm’s very own spring water, this remarkable pink raspberry lemonade is bursting with beautiful berry flavours and a delicious hit of lemon citrus. It’s a fabulously fizzy soft drink that’s just as delicious sipped on its own as it is mixed with Cotton Garden Gin in Craft Gin Club’s Secret Garden. You can find this and more of the Heartsease Farm range on the Craft Gin Club online shop at this link!
Secret Garden cocktail syrup
This utterly gorgeous cocktail syrup has been created by Craft Gin Club’s team of experts specifically to go in September’s Cocktail of the Month. Its sweet and aromatic flavour profile is the perfect complement to the mouth-watering flavours and tones of Cotton Garden Gin and Heartsease Farm Raspberry Lemonade.
