46% ABV: Cotswolds Gin Essence
Cotswolds Dry Gin Essence is a full strength gin designed to reduce the amount of product and thus alcohol required in a G&T whilst at the same time retaining the intensity of flavour. It is made using ten times the botanical concentration of their award-winning Cotswolds Dry Gin, which is already ten times more botanically intense than most premium gins. The result is a lighter and deliciously refreshing gin, with all the taste and 90% less alcohol than the standard 50 ml serve.

Raspberry and Elderflower Cooler
5ml (5 pipettes) Cotswolds Dry Gin Essence | 15ml Elderflower Cordial | 7.5ml Lime Juice | 8 Raspberries | Kombucha or Soda

Muddle raspberries in a rocks glass, add ice and the rest of the ingredients. Top up with kombucha or soda water and stir. Garnish with raspberry and mint leaves.

Think Wine

FAS ThinK Wine is a low-sugar, healthier brand of Prosecco sparkling rosé that has been wowing judges in blind taste tests.

It produces premium wines that are fresh, satisfying and luxurious, ideal for any special occasion such as hen dos, weddings, receptions and welcome drinks.

The secret to ThinK Wine lies in sourcing the finest organically grown Glera grapes from the heart of Treviso, north-east Italy. High-quality grapes don't need added sugar to mask their flavour as with popular brands of Prosecco.

ThinK Wine has just 75 calories, 0g fat, with 0.58g of residual sugar per 125ml (this is legally classed as zero sugar by UK standards). That’s a significant reduction in sugar while retaining all of the taste and an ABV of 11%.. The product contains no artificial sweeteners or ingredients.

ThinK Wine has a fresh and revitalising finish, on top of all the health-conscious benefits. All of the brand's wines are 100% vegan/organic and are low in sulphites meaning less of a hangover too.
