The number of distilleries in the UK has surged as craft gin continues to grow in popularity
Distilleries jumped 20 per cent to 246 over the last year, up from 205 the previous year, as the UK gin industry toasted a nine per cent increase in export sales to ยฃ672m in 2019
Consumers are willing to pay premium prices for craft gin, and the number of new entrants to the market has jumped in recent years.
Some entrepreneurs have been attracted to the spirits sector as they have recognised that big drinks firms are eying smaller โauthentic brandsโ.

We are now serving George Bishop London Dry Gin created by Maidstone Distillery and crowned Kent Spirit of the Year!
Featuring an award winning blend of 15 distinct botanicals with notes of warm Mediterranean citrus and exotic spice, George Bishop London Dry Gin pays tribute to a legacy of some 235 years. A homage to George Bishop and his legendary Maidstone Gin of 1785, this modern interpretation of the London Dry style is delightful in a G&T and equally at home in any gin cocktail.

Working at a cocktail bar afforded me great opportunities to make and photograph loads of drinks and dishes. Most of these were snapped fairly quickly during or just before service.
All the cocktails were themed and named after LGBTQ+, women's, and/or Canadian history.
