Award-winning Welsh distillery In the Welsh Wind created a sophisticated cocktail featuring Dewi Sant gin from its Eccentric Spirits range to celebrate St Davids Day this year.
The team at In the Welsh Wind has collaborated with mixologist Owen Williams to create a range of exciting cocktails using the distillery’s ‘Eccentric spirits’ range. In this concoction, the full, herbaceous flavours of Dewi Sant are paired with lemon, mint, cucumber and elderflower. This combination makes a delicious and grown up way to toast our patron saint on March 1st.
It’s pretty straightforward to mix up this martini style drink for yourself, too!
