Juniper, coriander seed, lemongrass and grapefruit – all part of the mix for The Laundrette’s exclusive new Soap Opera Gin, launching in celebration of National Gin & Tonic Day, October 19. Alongside the launch, The Laundrette Newcastle are also giving away the chance to win a trip for two to the Portobello Road Gin Distillery to create your own unique gin!*
Famous for its Cocktails and Carbs offering, Jon Charles, Co-Owner of The Laundrette said: “We know our customers love gin, so we teamed up with Portobello Road Gin to create a unique, floral gin that works perfectly in our signature cocktails.”
Other bespoke ingredients include angelica, orris, tea, fennel, chamomile, pink peppercorn PLUS one secret botanical – giving the gin it’s unique, tannin taste.
Best served alongside Fever Tree, Soap Opera Gin is recommended with elderflower tonic, grapefruit zest and pink peppercorns… nom.
Every perfect Gin & Tonic needs a perfect plate to pair, so Co-founder Jon Charles recommends: “If you’re looking for a treat alongside your gin this National Gin & Tonic Day, enjoy a signature Raspberry Screwball Cheesecake – the fresh raspberries in the desert compliment the botanicals in the gin.”
