Ahhh, May, what a month! Flowers are in full bloom, your garden parties full of cocktails and tasty snacks are being enjoyed across the country and Craft Gin Clubbers really do have a spring in your step as you welcome a brand new beautiful Gin of the Month box and raise a glass to some brighter ginny days ahead! We’re with you in spirit!
This May you’ve been really getting into your spring cleaning, and we were GIN-spired to do the same with a bit of a spring clean of our monthly photo competition. Formerly known as Ginstagram, it’s still the same GIN-credible competition, but with a brand new shiny name for you all… Sip & Snap!
As a member of Craft Gin Club, you get access to a whole host of perks including exciting ginny competitions like this one, and it really couldn’t be simpler to enter! Â
All you need is a camera (a mobile phone will do!), your beautiful cocktails or all of your lovely Gin of the Month goodies displayed on your impressive gin bars, plus a creative eye and super skills to capture your perfect snap!
Psst - we’ve even given you some top tips for entering below so read on for some gin-spiration! Happy snapping!
Each month, our wonderful members receive a brand new Gin of the Month box, and are inspired to share photos of how they are enjoying their goodies, cocktails, bundles of ginny joy from our online shop and more on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram as part of our monthly photo competition. In short, you sip a delicious tipple, and then snap a picture of it and share it with us on social media to enter!
Last month’s winner was Craft Gin Clubber, Sally G., who was having a hopping good time enjoying April’s Pink Gin Spritz Cocktail of the Month, whilst reading her most recent edition of Ginned! Magazine. Or, as we like to think… just another Sunday in lockdown! Congrats, Sally!
The member whose photo is judged to be the best, most creative, funny or most beautifully presented wins their next month's gin box for FREE! And on top of that - they and four runners-up will also take home another amazing prize every month! Time to get thinking OUTSIDE the box, gin lovers, and it could be YOU!
As well as a FREE Craft Gin Club Gin of the Month box for May’s competition winner, both they and four runners-up will each receive a Rose Gold Dipped GinGenie Straw, worth £110! And that’s not all! This month, to celebrate our new photo competition name - Sip & Snap! - we’ll also be giving away a bottle of our Gin & Tonic with a Pop! to our winners and runners-up! Sip, sip, hooray!
We’re a creative bunch here at Craft Gin Club HQ and thought we’d speak to some of our superstar Content and Creative team for some top tips on how YOU can best capture that perfect Sip & Snap! photo entry…
If you want to be in with a chance of winning, all you have to do is snap and share a photo of yourself enjoying your Gin of the Month box, cocktails aplenty, ginny shop orders and more, by the 28th of May 2021 on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and tagging @craftginclub.
Here’s what we’d really love to see from our winning entries:
Your ginny barbeques and picnics!
Your fave springtime tipples
Cocktails garnished with (edible!) May flowersÂ
Your perfect night in with your Craft Gin Club Gin of the Month box
A GIN-spiring story that you’d like to tell through your photo
GOOD LUCK!
Natural lighting is always best - try and set up your shot near a window or around the time that room gets the sun (morning for East facing, evening for West facing!)Start with the key focus of your shot, add in props and garnishes, building it up slowly to create something gin-spiring!

It’s all about telling us a story with your image! Was there a mess? Show us the mess! If you used equipment or extra garnishes... show us! Invite us into your perfect night in, we can’t wait to see what you capture - don’t forget to have fun with it!Plus...if your snap features a cute animal in the background you’ll probably win over a few hearts here at Craft Gin Club HQ!

A few things I always look out for are beautifully-styled snaps where the drinks really take centre stage. I always love seeing the box enjoyed in a special setting, such as in the garden with gin pals, out on a weekend adventure, or with the backdrop of a stunning sunset! I also love seeing how our members can really play on the theme of the box, or even think outside of the box!
