Description
Copper in the Clouds Lychee & Raspberry Gin
Created in 'The Distillery at Dowsett's Farm', Copper in the Clouds gin is a small company creating premium gin's in Hertfordshire. Historically, Hertfordshire (a county just to the north of London) was the hunting ground of the British Royal family, and is still relatively rural with numerous forests.
They create their gins using locally sourced premium wheat spirit. Where possible, they use locally grown and sourced botanicals, and have even started growing some of their own botanicals on the farm in their recently created botanical garden.
This attention to detail ensures a quality, and unique range of gins which they can rightfully be proud of! Each of their bottles is a piece of art itself. With this gin, they capture a Panda in China, carrying baskets of fresh raspberries and lychees.
In creating their Lychee & Raspberry gin, they utilise a base gin which contains 8 vibrant botanicals, including fresh garden mint and whole sicilian lemons. They then allow this to rest for a week, over fresh lychees. This imparts the flavours, and sweet fragrance from the fruit in the gin. They then blend local raspberry juice, which adds its pink colour and a sharp refreshing bite which perfectly balances the sweetness of the lychees.
Whilst there is a delicate sweetness to this gin, there is no added sugars. The sweetness itself comes purely from the ingredients used in its creation.
The name says it all with this gin! The other botanicals support the stars of the show, which are the Lychees and Raspberries. As mentioned, there is a sweetness too, but not at all over-powering and feels very natural. A delicious blend of flavours, with east meeting west (in Hertfordshire!).

Perfect Serve
As this is already a sweeter gin, we recommend enjoying with a lighter tonic. Fentimans Naturally Light Tonic works really well. If you like it a little sweeter still, try with Fever-Tree Raspberry & Rhubarb Tonic.
Take a large glass filled with ice and add 50ml of the gin. Gently pour over 150 - 200ml of your chosen tonic and stir gently. Garnish with a few raspberries.
