{ Gin Gimlet Cocktail Recipe }

A classic cocktail recipe made with our HM London Dry Gin. Originally crafted in the 1920’s with lime cordial, the Gin Gimlet cocktail recipe has since evolved and there are multiple modern variations of this classic. Here is one of the ways to enjoy the classic gin gimlet cocktail, our personal favorite Gin Gimlet cocktail recipe incorporates adding mint leaves.

OUR
VALUES

Spirited fun
We make gin because we love and have fun doing it. We’ve both had careers in different industries and growing HM Gin is just simply fun. We want all the gin lovers to have just as much fun enjoying HM gin as we do making it.
Smooth
Every HM Gin must be smooth. No if buts about it, even though we know not everyone enjoys gin neat, for us if it’s not smooth, it’s not a HM Gin.
Family
As a father daughter duo everything we do comes back to family, creating and sharing memories together. This extends to all the gin lovers, through our gins and hospitality
