Haysmith’s Mulled Winterberry Gin (70cl, £14.99)

The perfect winter warmer, this delicious new Mulled Winterberry gin has an aroma of dark and juicy fruits with a splash of cinnamon and a hint of citrus. Vibrant in colour and bursting with the berry flavours and warming spices you associate with a mulled wine – ideal for a hot gin toddy. Simply pour the gin into a glass mug or wine goblet with lemon juice and a teaspoon of sugar. Stir in some hot water until the sugar dissolves, garnish with a cinnamon stick and voila!

Haysmith’s Spiced Apple & Ginger Gin (70cl, £14.99)

This Spiced Apple & Ginger Gin brings a classic feel to contemporary sipping. Combined with flavours of sweet apple and spicy cinnamon, it marries perfectly with a light tonic and apple garnish. Deliciously warming, this tipple is a nostalgic reminder of a classic homemade apple pie.

Haysmith’s Spiced Plum & Clementine Gin (70cl, £14.99)

The taste of Christmas with every sip, this delicious smooth gin has warm spiced notes and rich plum flavours, finished with notes of sweet clementine for a unique and truly festive flavour combination. Pair with slices of plum, a sprig of rosemary and a dash of soda water for a tasty blend of yuletide spirit.

Haysmith’s Pink Grapefruit & Rose Gin (70cl, £14.99)

This refreshing Pink Grapefruit & Rose is a classic juniper-led gin with fragrant rose notes which is finished perfectly with the pleasantly bittersweet taste of grapefruit.

To perfect these festive G&T’s, be sure to pick up some of Aldi’s Ridge Valley Original Tonic (8 x 150ml, £1.99)  – refreshing with well-balanced lemony notes, this great value tonic water is sure to be a hit with gin lovers.
