Match Preview: Hampshire Hawks v The Blaze & Middlesex, Vitality Blast Double Header
Hawks Men can guarantee a spot in the top two of the South Group, whilst Hawks Women require just one victory to reach Finals Day
A favourite amongst gin enthusiasts, today marks the return of World Gin Day for 2017, and here to offer their top tips on how to serve the perfect gin is Northamptonshire based top-craft gin brand Warner Edwards.
Established in 2012, the brand has quickly pioneered themselves as ‘champions of flavour’, with their award winning artisanal spirits and we're proud to house their gins within BEEFY'S. Their farm-made, hand-finished, steeped in provenance variants are created using water from the spring that runs through the distillery’s home on Falls Farm, alongside grain spirit and other home-grown ingredients. With flavours like the hugely successful Victoria’s Rhubarb, Harrington Elderflower, Melissa Gin, Sloe and Dry gin there’s no-one better and more experienced to offer authentic serving tips than Warner Edward’s founder Tom Warner.
“If you are a fan of a traditional dry gin our first born and global award-winning Harrington Dry Gin is truly sophisticated with a well-rounded and complex palate. Its unique character and strong notes of cardamom and nutmeg make it intensely warm and smooth, a true pioneer in its class. This variant is perfect mixed with a premium Indian tonic water, garnished with a citrus fruit.
Capturing the very essence of a British summer’s day, the Harrington Elderflower is a beautifully balanced gin that is smooth, sweet and delicately fragrant with summer elderflower. Enjoy over ice or in a refreshing G&T mixed with a Mediterranean tonic water, garnished with a lemon slice.
Saving the best to last our Victoria’s Rhubarb is made with a crop of rhubarb originally grown in the kitchen garden of Buckingham Palace, during the reign of Queen Victoria. This alluring pink gin is voluptuous on the palate with a sweet and tangy royal rhubarb explosion, ideal when mixed with ginger ale and garnished with a slice of blood orange or a stick of rhubarb.
Cheers, gin-gin!
