IN THE SPIRIT OF
FATHER’S DAY

Forget socks and cufflinks this Father’s Day and give him something to savour, like our Old Tom Bathtub Gin

From flowers to fancy toiletries, the sheer range of goodies makes buying gifts for Mother’s Day a cinch. The same can’t be said for Father’s Day, however, which is probably why my dad has ended up with books and wine the past few years. This time around, I’ll be giving him something a little bit special with this handsome bottle of handcrafted Bathtub Gin. Made in small batches to cold compounding methods that have been used since the Georgian era, it’s a complex botanical blend that’ll take pride of place in his drinks cabinet. Shake him up a weekend cocktail by mixing a measure with muddled mint leaves before topping with elderflower pressé and garnishing with slices of cucumber and lots of ice.
