Craft Gin Club’s September 2021 Gin of the Month box:
Our September 2021 Gin of the Month:
Cotton Garden Gin
Otterbeck Distillery, who you may already know as the distillers behind Captain Sir Tom’s London Dry Gin, have created a remarkable craft gin just for Craft Gin Club members at their beautiful distillery in North Yorkshire. Named Cotton Garden Gin, it’s a wonderful expression of the English country garden!
Capturing the tones of an autumnal English garden, this marvellous gin is aromatic and has a base that is earthy and rich. The nose is a beautiful medley of English garden herbs, which are joined by touches of citrus on the palate. That quintessential juniper, with its delectably complex flavour profile, then lasts long into the finish.

You can find more of Otterbeck Distillery’s range (including Captain Sir Tom’s London Dry Gin) available to buy here!
Navas Garden Tonic
Navas Garden Tonic is the perfect tonic water to pair with Cotton Garden Gin. Made in Cornwall, using Cornish spring water, Navas Drinks was created by two friends who love to walk the Cornish coastline. Inspired by that picturesque landscape, and their favourite gin drinks, they decided to create their own line of incredible mixers that have provenance and sustainability at their heat. And so, Cornwall’s first premium mixer company was born!
Navas Garden Tonic has a sumptuous mix of pine, woody herb and citrus notes that are perfectly balanced to complement your favourite gins without overpowering them. This fragrant tonic is a masterclass in quality craftsmanship.

Craft Gin Club’s September 2021 Perfect G&T
Craft Gin Club’s September 2021 Perfect G&T pairs Cotton Garden Gin from Yorkshire with Navas Garden Tonic from Cornwall. Together, they make for one stunning duo that’s full of crisp, fragrant and herbaceous tones.
Finished with coriander seeds and slices of lemon, which add bright touches of citrus and aromatic spice, it’s a refreshing tipple that is utterly delicious!
Tia Maria Matcha Cream Liqueur
We selected this creamy liqueur, which Craft Gin Clubbers are amongst the first to try, because it’s perfect for sipping in the garden - it’s a glorious green colour and has subtle herbaceous and floral flavours.
— September's box curator, Duncan Carr
Tia Maria makes liqueurs of incredible quality and flavour, if you have already tried their original coffee liqueur, which is created from a recipe thought to have been first written down in the 17th Century, then you will know exactly how remarkable their tasty tipples are. Try Tia Maria in an Espresso Martini and you will not be disappointed.
Their new Matcha Cream Liqueur is made with natural matcha extract and is completely divine. Smooth and floral, with those rich Japanese green tea notes, it’s perfect for sipping at any time of the day, whether used in gin cocktails or simply enjoyed over ice in the garden.

Candy Kittens Gourmet Sweets
Wild Strawberry or Sour Watermelon or Tropical Mango
We are in love with Candy Kittens! Their irresistibly fun and fabulous sweeties never fail to get the taste buds tingling with glee. What’s more, they are vegan-friendly, free from palm oil and use natural fruit juices. Yum!
Members could find one of three flavours of Candy Kittens Gourmet Sweets in their September box: Wild Strawberry, Sour Watermelon or Tropical Mango. Each one is bursting with mouth-watering fruit flavours. Enjoying them with a gin cocktail or two is one of our favourite things to do - especially when we can have them in the garden.
Angostura Aromatic Bitters
There are a few quintessential cocktail ingredients that every gin fan, mixologist and cocktail connoisseur should have in their arsenal and one of the most important is Angostura Bitters. Truly, no at-home gin bar would be complete without that delectably spiced marvel that comes all the way from the island of Trinidad in the Caribbean.
Skillfully crafted and rich with complex spice flavours, Angostura Bitters are the perfect way to enhance your favourite cocktails and G&Ts. In fact, adding a drop to your G&T can make it blush with a gorgeous pink tone that is just divine - give it a go!

Munchkings Pretzel Crush, Honey and Mustard and Onion
This tasty snack is from an English brand and features classic garden flavours like honey and the humble onion.
— Duncan Carr
Munchkings had the ingenious idea of breaking up their delectably crunchy pretzels before adding the seasoning. “Why?” you might ask. Well, breaking the pieces of pretzel up means that there is even more surface area for their incredible seasonings to cover, which means you get even more flavour in each and every bite.
A marvellous mix of sweet honey, savoury mustard and onion tones, the Munchkings Pretzel Crush that members can find in their September Gin of the Month box are utterly divine. They are the perfect snack for enjoying with a G&T or two!
