M&S Is Selling A Lemon, Gin And Tonic Sauce For Pancake Day

M&S Is Selling A Lemon, Gin And Tonic Sauce For Pancake Day

Wonder whether this would be acceptable to use on pretty much everything

M&S usually pull it out of the bag when it comes to the things we love. There's been Jaffa Cake flavoured cocktails, foot-long pigs in blankets and even a washable duvet meaning you don't need to change your bed sheets...

Now, it's now selling an indulgent lemon, gin and tonic sauce to smother over your pancakes at breakfast time - we're all for this shiz.

The boozy sauce is here just in time for Pancake Day (5 March this year), and the tempting topping is priced at just £2 ($2.60) per squeezy bottle.

Here it is in all its glory.

Putting a tipsy twist on the classic lemon and sugar topping, the sauce is described as both tart and tangy with a punch, emulating the 'classic flavours' of a G&T.

Who wouldn't want that drizzled all over their fluffy pancakes?

It is not just G&T-flavoured either, as the lemon curd actually contains the juniper-based spirit as well as Indian tonic water. However, there will be no hangovers as it's just 0.5 per cent ABV.


The sauce is currently sold out online but you should still be able to get your hands on some in-store in M&S' food hall. You'll just have to elbow everyone out of the way once the doors open in the morning.

Now, for those who aren't that blessed with culinary skills or skills in the kitchen then fear not because M&S has got everyone covered: they're selling pre-made ones for ease.

You can choose from blueberry, buttermilk, as well as chocolate chip versions of the classic, smaller Scotch pancakes, all £1.60 per pack of four which you can drizzle with the lemon curd sauce.

Or if you want to make your own, combine milk, eggs and flour into a patter and fry.

A number of supermarkets also sell pre-made batter so you don't have to mess around mixing up your own and you can spend more time flipping pancakes with the pan. See, you have no excuses now.

M&S's blueberry pancakes.

This lemon, gin and tonic sauce isn't the only indulgent topping M&S has to offer this Pancake Day either.

You will be able to find a boozy Scottish Heather Honey with Single Malt Whiskey in the food hall, which infuses honey with the smoky peat of a single malt. *heavy breathing*

This new honey is slightly more expensive than the lemony sauce as it is £5 ($6.50) a bottle.

Pancake Day can't come soon enough.
