As the seasons turn and evenings draw in, Mermaid’s Winter Gin is landing on shelves, bringing its rich, warming character to the drinks cabinet just in time for Negroni Week (21-27 September).
Crafted by the Isle of Wight Distillery, Mermaid Winter Gin is a seasonal expression created to capture the flavours of autumn and winter. Luscious coastal figs and vine-ripened grapes are complemented by cassia, orange peel and Isle of Wight honey, creating a subtly sweet and warming spirit with plenty of depth.
As the spirit of the season, Mermaid Winter Gin is the perfect companion for the transition into autumn, when evenings draw in, entertaining becomes more intimate, and people gather to enjoy meaningful moments with friends and family. Whether poured over ice, enjoyed in a cocktail or shared as part of a cosy get-together, its rich, warming flavour profile makes it an ideal choice for the season.
Perfectly timed for Negroni Week, Mermaid is showcasing the versatility of the seasonal spirit with its Winter Negroni; a subtly sweet and bold take on the classic cocktail. Combining Mermaid Winter Gin with Campari and Cocchi Vermouth di Torino, the serve is finished with a fig segment to complement the gin’s seasonal flavour profile.
