Delivered to Dads who love local throughout the UK.
For the mixologist: Pothecary Gin has come up with a novel Father’s Day Cocktail Case. It includes all the ingredients to make two scrumptious Negroni cocktails: two hefty Italian Negroni glasses, bar spoon, a jigger to get the measures just right, 100ml Campari, 100ml Punt e Mes Vermouth, and (of course) 100ml bottle Pothecary Gin Sicilian Blend, plus fresh organic orange to garnish. Dads receiving this special Cocktail Case will also be invited to join a private Facebook group on Father’s Day (at 6pm on 21st June) for a live session from Pothecary Gin’s Martin Jennings, demonstrating the perfect Negroni cocktail. Just add ice.
