With notes of rosehip and hibiscus, and top-notes of fresh citrus orange, lemon and bergamot peel, Lidl’s brand new Hortus Summer Gin, £15.99, turns your everyday G&T into an ultra-refreshing summery gin drink!
Perfect to have on-hand during balmy summer evenings, the fruity spirit is a fitting accompaniment for barbecue dishes such as grilled prawns, chicken skewers or sorbets.
This limited summer edition will join Lidl’s popular own-brand artisan gin range including the classic Hortus Gin, and the seasonal Hortus Oriental Spiced Gin and Hortus Sloe Gin.
The latest, fruity edition of the gin is as delicious served up in a long cocktail glass as it is in a G&T. Lidl spirits expert Tristan Stephenson – author of ‘The Curious Bartender’ series of drinks books – has served up a refreshing recipe for you to try this summer!
Commenting on the new gin, Tristan said: “With warmer weather just around the corner, and the UK’s love for gin showing no signs of slowing down, Lidl’s new Hortus Summer Gin is just in time for much needed British refreshment.”
