There were two Anfield gins released around the same time and they’re both champions. This gin with a strawberry flavour and a red colour is for those who prefer a bit of added flavour to their gin while they cheer on the red men. Created by a father and daughter team of super fans, they were determined to make a gin that the local area could be proud of and we’re positive they’ve succeeded. Part two – cover a pan with a thin cloth (a J Cloth is fine) and pour liqueur through it to strain off the granules. Carefully remove the cloth, put on a low heat – don’t let it bubble. Taste and then add a pinch of salt to enhance flavours and keep stirring while on heat until it’s all dissolved. Flavor: The palate is still juniper led; however, the other botanicals come through. Coriander and a hint of cardamom come on mid-palate, while green juniper eases into a finish with light intensity bitter orange and citrus.

It’s hard to keep your in this gorgeous sunshine, but this light, refreshing cooler from The Florist might just help… Made with botanicals directly from our sand dunes and surrounding area, this coastal gin is like a refreshing beach walk in a glass. Serve with plenty of ice, a premium tonic water (because why tarnish a premium gin with anything less) and a slice of juicy lemon for the ultimate seaside G&T. A classic, if a little “by the numbers” gin. Fans of classic gin staples will appreciate the simplicity. While well done, I think the important question is if it’s different enough to distinguish itself from its peers that are available at lower price points.

Based in the achingly cool Baltic Triangle, this fearless gin brand carefully selects its ingredients from around the globe. They have everything from super strength merchant navy gin (guaranteed to put hairs on your chest) to pink and fluffy style marshmallow gin and no list of amazing local gins would be complete without a nod to this fantastic brand.

Now technically, although this is named after and inspired by a little-known area of Sicily, this gin flavoured with lemons, oranges and a pinch of sea salt is local. Created by the Carlisi brothers (of Carlisi bar on Dale Street) who are honorary scousers anyway, this is distilled right here in the city. Liverpool would be in a right state if it wasn’t for the EU, so the fact that the botanicals in this gin are authentically Sicilian makes it the perfect Scouse/European fusion. Serve with premium tonic, citrus garnish and plenty of sunshine – but be warned, you’ll have gone through a whole bottle before you realise. Method: Shake and strain into a tall glass over cubed ice, and garnish with a cucumber slice and a mint sprig. In this city we love a bit of get up and go, an entrepreneurial spirit and of course, we love gin – so meet these 16 local gins you absolutely must sample (if you haven’t already of course)… Liverpool GinIt works well behind the bar in any application where you would expect a classic gin. However, I prefer it as a mixing gin than in spirit-forward drinks like the Martini or Arsenic and Old Lace. We can’t have an Everton gin without a nod to its rival across the park. Another traditional gin but this time with hints of orange, elderflower and liquorice, this is the perfect addition to any red’s alcohol collection. Raise a glass to the recent Premier League champions and then have another to toast the future 7 th CL win? Liverpool Dry Gin is fairly classic. The hint of citrus draws comparison to both Beefeater and P lymouth, among staples that emphasize a similar those ingredients in a similar way. Part one – make the coffee liqueur: add the sugar and water to a pan, heat and stir until all the sugar has dissolved. Add coffee granules, approx. 25g, and vanilla (add around a tablespoon if you like the flavour of vanilla). Pour coffee syrup into a jug to cool to room temperature, then put into a Kilner jar and add the vodka. Mix and leave somewhere cool and dark to infuse overnight.

Over the river on ‘the dark side’ you’ll find the Tappers distillery who are fully committed to reviving the art of gin. Their flavours are many and their bottles are stunning (the pink gin is a must have, even if it’s just to ogle the bottle) but their most famous offerings are their Darkside gin and their Wintergreen aromatic. Just try and keep us away from the Hydropathic Pudding Summer Fruits Cup as soon as the sun comes out though! By Natasha Ferguson They keep saying that the gin bubble is going to burst but instead it just keeps getting bigger, and so it should – it’s delicious! Then, all you need to do is simply shake, top and pour in a gin balloon glass, with cubed ice. And relax! Part three – make the espresso martini: you’ll need vodka, the coffee liqueur and sugar syrup and double strength coffee. Get a jar to use as a shaker, an egg cup and a sieve. Add approx. 40ml vodka (2 egg cups), 20ml of coffee liqueur, 40ml of strong coffee – stir and taste, then add a splash of sugar syrup and ice and shake.
