Best London Dry Gin, Scottish Gin Awards 2020
Lind & Lime Gin is the very first spirit produced by The Port of Leith Distillery Co at our Tower Street Stillhouse. It’s still a couple of years before we’ll be distilling whisky, so we’ve thrown our full and unbridled energy into creating a gin forged entirely from the talent, heritage and industry of Edinburgh and its historic distilling district of Leith.
In everything that we produce, our watchword is ‘balance’. We take a base spirit at 96% ABV and re-distill it with a carefully curated recipe of 7 botanicals to ensure that each of them is working in delicate harmony. Juniper provides the backbone, complemented by crisp and citrusy lime, and underpinned by earthy flavours of pink peppercorns. The result is deliciously complex, dry and thoroughly refreshing.
THE FRENCH 75
A decadent mix of champagne, gin, lemon juice and sugar syrup, the famous French 75 dates back to the First World War, created in 1915 at Harry’s New York Bar in Paris. The cocktail was said to pack such a punch that it was reminiscent of being shelled by french 75mm field gun.
The Recipe
50ml Lind & Lime
30ml freshly squeezed lemon
15ml sugar syrup
Shake and pour into a champagne flute. Once settled, pour champagne or prosecco down a bar spoon allowing it to sit on top of the gin mix.
Optional: drop a sugar cube into the glass. Serve with a lemon twist
