New Forest-based 820 Spirits today announces the latest addition to its range of award-winning spirits, ‘Drop of Gin’, a low alcohol gin distillate. Available in a 50ml bottle with a pipette, all you need to do to make a fantastic drink is add two full pipettes of the drop into a glass with a tonic of your choice, which leaves you with a drink that is 0.3%, but still full flavoured. With this small bottle, you will get 34 servings and once opened, the gin doesn’t go off and doesn’t need to be refrigerated.
Tom Simpson, co-founder and chief distiller at 820 Spirits, says: “Sometimes, we all crave the taste of a G&T without the alcohol—whether at a working lunch, as the designated driver, or simply when you want something refreshing but low or no alcohol. At 820 Spirits, we’ve crafted the perfect solution to meet your needs in these moments. A lot of low alcohol products are actually full of chemicals and citric acids, but our low alcohol gin is made in the same way as we make all of our products – all natural ingredients locally grown in the New Forest where our distillery and gin school are based.
“The low alcohol gin has an initial warmth of juniper expanded with the sweetness of hibiscus and liquorice and accompanying citrus notes provide a zest to harmonise the eight other botanicals. We have used our in-house process to make the Drop of Gin low alcohol gin so there are no nasties added.”
Perfect for Dry January, a bottle of Drop of Gin is priced at £30 and available now https://bit.ly/4g0FxoF
This time last year, research1 from Alcohol Change UK, the charity behind Dry January® revealed that among UK adults (excluding non-drinkers), 30% of men and 26% of women would like to reduce the amount of alcohol they drink in 2024. In 2024, it is estimated that one in six UK adults (16%) took a break from alcohol in January. This is estimated at 8.5 million people.
