Whitley Neill Gooseberry Gin, 70 cl

Product Information

It is our sincere hope that you will enjoy our craft liqueurs as much as we have enjoyed perfecting and blending them for you. Combine all ingredients in a shaker, shake well and strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with a toast triangle or orange wheel. Use a basic, cheap gin. The gooseberries will do the flavouring work, with the gin acting as a flavour carrier. Therefore, do feel free to play with the addition or quantity of sugar, based on the sharpness or natural sweetness of your gooseberries, and to suit your own taste preferences!

Those beautiful flavours of a sunny continental breakfast are brought to you in liquid form. The Slingsby Marmalade Gin combined with the bitter grapefruit and sweet syrup leave the taste of the continent dancing on your tongue. So, the story goes that in 1571, William Slingsby realised that the spring water of Harrogate had healing properties. People from far and wide came to restore their body and soul in this spa town by bathing and drinking in the magical liquid. Using a funnel, add the fruit mush to a clean bottle/jar so that the mix is about half way up the container. Making gooseberry gin is quite like making sloe gin. I prefer the dark “dessert” variety that ripen to a red wine colour in late July or August. Believe it or not they have a natural sweet intensity – unlike the usual tarty green unripe things you come across right now – so they’ll need far less sugar. In terms of the base gin to use, we wouldn’t recommend using any of the beautiful craft gins you’ll find in our Gin of the Month boxes, for example, as you won’t be able to taste any of the beautiful, delicate botanicals. A good quality, neutral London Dry Gin from the shops will work just fine.One is to make 5 gallons (IMP) of pineapple wine. The required pineapples were trimmed and sliced over a couple of weeks and are waiting in the deep freeze for a free fermenter. Later today I shall use a newly fresh pineapple to start off a “Pineapple Liqueur” using brandy this year as opposed to Vodka

Delivering a tangy, sharpness to a glass of Prosecco, Slingsby’s Gooseberry Gin is highly complementary of the fruity, light elderflower flavour. A delightful addition to any gathering or sunny evening at home. There is no hard and fast rule here for how long to leave your gin - we recommend at least a week or two, to allow the flavours to steep.

Put them in the freezer overnight, to begin to break down the fruit and release the sugars and juices. My great grandfather, the premier tenant within the park at the time, bought the farm at the centre of the estate and the rest as you say, is history. We have continued to farm and manage our picturesque corner of England since then, and more recently have begun to dabble in the wonderful world of spirits!
