The Drinks Bulletin—April 2022
We are looking forward to warmer weather and a busy Easter weekend.
This April, we offer an array of new drinks with some superb promotions too,
perfect for picnics and garden gatherings!
Reverend Hubert Gin Liqueurs (Cotswolds)
Reverend Hubert’s original spirits are a genuine recreation of recipes
that were first created over 100 years ago.
The Reverend Hubert Bell Lester (1868 -1929) was a charming and caring
man who also enjoyed a good party, and in 1904 produced a small range
of popular gin liqueurs that he shared amongst army comrades and the
congregation of his local church in Nottinghamshire.
Many years later, the Reverend's Great Grandson, Thomas Lester found
his own passion for crafting liqueurs, and after discovering the story of
his Great Grandfather, decided to recreate the original formula, making
small tweaks to suit the modern drinker with help from drinks expert Joe
Wadsack.
This month, we are pleased to offer his delectable Summer Cup, made
with fresh plums and rhubarb, sweet pomegranates and tart cranberries.
For the perfect serve, add Reverend Hubert’s Summer Cup to a large jug,
add soda, ice and mint, and stir with a stick of rhubarb for a delightful
alternative to Pimms.
Available to order in a beautifully designed 50cl bottle, with their Winter
Gin Liqueur to follow later in the year. £17.50 (ex VAT); 50cl
Campfire Gin from Puddingstone Distillery (Hertfordshire)
Located in the Chiltern Hills close to Tring, founders Kate and Ben
Marston set out in 2014, to create a range of exceptional Campfire gins

Wine & Spirits Competition, with each of their gins - London Dry,
Old Tom, Cask Aged and Navy Strength, winning either Silver or Bronze.
Ben and Kate care greatly about both the environment and their local
community, investing in local causes such as The Herts & Middlesex
Wildlife Trust, and making their product as sustainable as possible.

reduced carbon footprint during production, transit and recycling.

certified supplier and the bottle stopper is made with recycled cork with
wood also from a FSC certified supplier
