Thursday 13th May is World Cocktail Day, an international celebration of delicious spirits and mixed drinks and the skill of mixology.
Of course, that’s not the only reason we’re celebrating: This month, Massingberd-Mundy Distillery’s newest creation won two major international awards.
Marie Jeanne’s Pink Gin won the Flavoured Gin category of The Gin Guide Awards 2021 and it also won the award for Best New Flavoured Gin.
This comes hot off the heels of the distillery’s victory in the national round of the World Gin Awards, where Marie Jeanne was named Gold winner in the Flavoured Gin category. It was also crowned as a #1 Bestseller at the Craft Gin Club.
Having only been launched in June last year, the gin is already a multi award-winner, so what better way to mark World Cocktail Day than with a special cocktail to celebrate our glamorous tipple?
Head Distiller, Tristan Jorgensen explains how to prepare a Raspberry Marjito with Marie Jeanne’s Pink Gin.
“I’m super happy and proud of all our hard work, which has led to these amazing accolades and I want to thank all the people who’ve helped me along the way.
“To celebrate, here’s a fruity cocktail you can prepare and enjoy at home – it’s perfect and a great way to impress your friends and family at your next social-distancing BBQ or garden party.”
