Summer is finally here (it is... isn't it?) and with the weather brightening up there's no better time to pour yourself a post-work cocktail to enjoy in the garden.
And if you’re looking for a way to jazz up your DIY sundowner, we have a great option for those who love a cheeky tipple.
In you enjoy a stiff G&T, why not treat yourself to a bottle this 44% ABV gin to help ring in the weekend?
A popular French brand based in the Cognac region has just dropped a limited-edition gin called Poire Poivrée (that's peppered pear to you and I), and it's perfect accompaniment to your G&T.
What makes it special?
According to the brand, the gin is 'meticulously distilled' using fermented pears at the Distillerie Metté in France's Alsace region.
It contains a generous splash of juniper, a dollop of myrtle, a dash of cubeb and a pinch of citron, resulting in a spicy but flavourful blend.
And what makes this specific bottle so special is the fact that it is part of a limited batch of just 1,100 units.
Priced at £45 (or €49.95) for 700ml plus P&P, it's got an ABV of 44% (just make sure you select 'UK store' from the dropdown menu on the website).
As it will be coming from France, you’ll also want to leave plenty of time for it to arrive, which is why you’ll probably want to add it to your online basket sooner rather than later.
Imagine how gutted you’d be if it sold out before you got a chance to press buy.
Who are Audemus Spirits?
If you’ve not already heard of the brand before, the distillery specialises in a number of botanical spirits. And over the years they’ve scooped a number of industry awards and accolades.
Some of their other beloved drinks include their Pink Pepper Gin, Umami Gin and a Covert Liqueur with a cognac base.
So, whether your dad is already a fan of gin and likes to sample a wide variety and try out different flavour combinations, or if he’s looking to expand his cocktail making repertoire this year or stock his bar cart with spirits that he’ll want to serve up to friends and family at your next gathering, this tipple is ticking a lot of boxes.
It would be equally as enjoyable on its own – or on the rocks (over ice) – as it would with some tonic water.
Or why not have your dad add it to his very own shaken or stirred martini, negroni, bramble or gimlet.
The Poire Poivrée gin is available from audemus-spirits.com.
