BECCY: Hi everyone, I'm Beccy. PETER: I'm Peter
BECCY: And today we're going to be unboxing August's Gin of the Month Box.
BECCY: Getting out of our Gin of the Month Box is our Gin of the Month!
PETER: All the way from Singapore, we have this exclusive for Craft Gin Club and I couldn't be
more excited about it. It's the bottle, it's the label but it's the liquid inside as well.
BECCY: I'm going to sniff it. PETER: Have a smell of it,
it's beautiful. Loads of flavour coming through.
BECCY: Tell me a bit about it. PETER: So we've got some mandarin, we've got
some pomelo peels, all sorts of citrus flavours. BECCY: Get a whiff of that, I mean you've probably
already smelt it but...it's so citrussy. PETER: It's brilliant. It's even better when
you taste it as well, if that's possible. BECCY: Well talking of tasting because...
what would a Gin of the Month be without a Perfect G&T to drink it with? We're gonna bring out our
Twisted Tonics. So these are our tonics for this month, Pete what flavours are we talking here?
PETE: And so this month we've got some lime and some lemongrass in there and so both of
these are actually botanicals within the gin too, so it's perfectly paired.
BECCY: Cheers! PETER: Cheers!
PETER: That is beautiful. It's so hot today as well, it's so refreshing.
BECCY: Ooo. And with the garnish this month, which is Pineapple & Pink Peppercorn.
PETER: We've gone so tropical. Pineapple, you don't see it too often
but it's so tasty within a G&T. BECCY: Gosh I love pineapple.
PETER: So do I. BECCY: I'm going to be making this
as soon as I possibly can and sipping it outside pretending I'm in the tropics of Singapore.
PETER: Lots of sun is needed though for it to be at it's best.
BECCY: Now, we're going to move onto our Cocktail of the Month for August which is...the
Singapore Fling. Pete, tell us all about it. PETER: Well, if we're going to Singapore we
have to do the most iconic cocktail in the world which is the Singapore Sling. But we've put our
own twist on it and we're going to make use of some Frobisher's Cherry Juice in there,
alongside our Cocktail of the Month syrup. BECCY: We've got another drink this month. Our
final mixer of the month which is Pete... PETER: We have Upstream.
BECCY: Upstream PETER: I love it when we go so far, when
we get so many flavourful things into the box. BECCY: So this is Strawberry & Lychee or you
might potentially have another flavour in your box, there is two flavours that come,
which is Grapefruit & Bergamot. PETER: I think the strawberry's my favourite
but the grapefruit goes down a treat as well. BECCY: That sounds lovely. I honestly,
I'm going to try it. Watch me.
Oh how fun is it when you make a little can... PETER: That's a good fizz. Yeah, that's a good
sign straight away. BECCY: Mmm
PETER: Thumbs up? BECCY: Yeah, thumbs up.
PETER: Brilliant. BECCY: On to snacks and this is
Sweet Chilli Peanuts from The Dormen nut company. PETER: What goes better with a G&T than
a bag of nuts? BECCY: Oh, hello.
PETER: Why does it smell delicious? I'll take a few of those.
BECCY: Oh, mmm. They are lovely. PETER: I know what we've got coming up next
though and these are what I'm excited about. BECCY: Really? What is it,
what is it? Oh look at the colour of that! PETER: There we go. Look how beautiful they are.
BECCY: Wild Cassava Chips Sweet Chilli and Onion. PETER: I've never come across
these before. But I'm sold. BECCY: I'm going to give these to you to open...
PETER: Yes, please. BECCY: because I feel like they are going to be
an explosion of flavour that we're just gonna be hit with. And cassava is a really unique,
I think it's like a sort of root vegetable, that you can make crisps out of. So I feel like we're
all going to learn something today. Oh my gosh. PETER: Again, so much flavour!
This is a great box.
BECCY: Poppadoms! PETER: And these are brilliant,
these come straight from Singapore itself as well, as authentic as you could possibly get.
BECCY: Yes, Uncle Saba's Sweet Chilli Poppadoms. Oo the whiff of that is....
Everything is going to be, I feel like I'm going to be transported to Singapore and feel like I'm
very much on my holidays when I'm eating these. And this one's a goodie. I'm particularly
excited about this flavour as well. Brown Bag Tiger Prawn Crisps! I'm sure they'll
taste just as good, do you wanna go for it? PETER: I think need to give these a go yep,
this is up my street. BECCY: I'm usually a prawn cocktail
person so I was literally freaking out when I saw these.
Good? PETER: Mmm
BECCY: Obviously they're good. I'm going to try one as well.
PETER: So impressed by those.
BECCY: I just think all of these flavours are gonna go really well with the gin this month. Obviously
because they're perfectly curated. PETER: Absolutely. I mean we put
some thought into these, it's not just anything we're putting together here.
BECCY: It's Ginned! Magazine, our monthly magazine for Craft Gin Club members.
And what a beauty it is, wonderfully shot. Hundreds of recipes and information that you
can find out about the gin, the story behind it which is phenomenal, really inspiring.
PETER: So much to find out about. Jamie, the distiller, is absolutely
amazing so have a good read of that. BECCY: I love the ice-cream recipes we've got
in here as well. So food, drink, quizzes, games, you can find out about our competitions. And that
is our final bit of the box. PETER: What a cracking box,
I can't wait for everyone to try this. BECCY: It's a beautiful box and I know
that everyone's gonna love it. Let us know if you're trying it on social media, we want
to hear your thoughts on all of the delicious flavours of our August Gin of the Month Box.
Pete, I don't know about you but all this unboxing has go me thirsty, so I'm ready to try a Perfect
G&T. What about you? PETER: Absolutely,
I knew that was what you were going to say. BECCY: Of course, well thank you everybody and
we hope you love this month's box. Bye! PETER: Cheers!
