Gordon’s Shimmer Berry Gin Liqueur Limited Edition

Gordon's has been making gin for centuries, and this limited edition is the brand at its most playful: a berry gin liqueur at a gentle 20%, suspended with edible shimmer so the bright red liquid catches the light and swirls in the glass. It is built for occasions rather than contemplation, a 70cl bottle made to be passed round at parties and summer gatherings.

The nose is fruity and fresh, all ripe berries, and the palate follows suit: sweet and mild, berry-led, with a light freshness that keeps it from cloying, before a soft and refreshing finish. Pour it neat over ice to show off the glitter, or top it with chilled Prosecco and a few fresh berries for a glamorous aperitif that doubles as a talking point.
