New Forest distillers 820 Spirits come to the rescue for Dry January with low-alcohol ‘Drop of Gin’

New Forest-based 820 Spirits has released Drop of Gin, a new low-alcohol gin distillate.

It’s available in a 50ml bottle with a pipette, and adding just two full pipettes to a glass of tonic gives a full-flavour G&T at only 0.3 per cent ABV, says the brand.

A single bottle yields 34 servings.

Tom Simpson, co-founder and chief distiller at 820 Spirits, said: “Sometimes, we all crave the taste of a gin and tonic without the alcohol – whether at a working lunch, as the designated driver, or simply when you want something refreshing but low or no alcohol.

“We’ve crafted the perfect solution to meet your needs in these moments.

“A lot of low-alcohol products are actually full of chemicals and citric acids, but our low-alcohol gin is made in the same way as we make all of our products – all natural ingredients locally grown in the New Forest where our distillery and gin school are based.

“The gin has an initial warmth of juniper expanded with the sweetness of hibiscus and liquorice and accompanying citrus notes provide a zest to harmonise the eight other botanicals.”

• Bottles are priced at £30 and available at 820spirits.com
