How we like to drink it
Head distiller Gavin likes to enjoy HM Rare Dry Gin over ice. Alternately you’ll find him drinking it with Mediterranean tonic and a fresh slice of orange.
And fellow co-owner Amy, well she likes 50ml HM Rare Dry Gin over ice with 20ml of St Germain liqueur. For a longer drink she’ll top up with soda and a slice of cucumber to garnish.
Crafting HM No 1 Rare Dry Gin
For the base of our award-winning HM Rare Dry Gin, we use the highest purity base alcohol and a generous portion of Juniper berries. To the still we further add coriander seeds, cassia bark and finely cut locally grown lemon and anise myrtles.
HM Rare Dry Gin is a simple recipe with a smooth clean finish. Bright and refreshing this will soon be your go-to dry gin.
Fun fact
When head distiller Gavin originally set out to make our signature Rare Dry Gin he became heavy handed with the oranges in production (read the story here) and instead produced our awarded HM Orange Squeeze Gin.

Christina Slater – :
This is a superb dry London gin, well deserved to be awarded best gin in the country 2023. It is an exceptional good quality smooth London dry gin, with a perfectly rounded flavour. Perfect on its own, with tonic , or make an amazing coctail with 2 parts Gin, and 5 parts Wirra Wirra Mrs Wriggley Moscato. I highly reccomend this gin as one of the best I’ve ever tasted in over 50 years and it is now my favourite gin of all time.
