We’re rarely disappointed by the range of drinks available this time of year, and on the gin front we’re increasingly partial to the elegant elixers supplied by Blackwater Distillery.
They’ve just released a limited edition of Boyle’s Old Tom, a gin with extra juniper character based on the hooch that formed part of the original Tom Collin’s cocktail recipe.
It comes gift-boxed with a selection of recipes to practice over the festive season.
Those who prefer their gin warm and mellow are well catered for too, with Boyle’s Slow and Damson Gin, crammed with delicious fruit from the West Waterford harvest.
€24.99 Aldi.
