Perhaps Dry January isn’t your thing and you’re looking for something a little different and a little more exciting to get you through the first month of the New Year? We’re calling it Ginuary – a month dedicated to trying some of the best gin-based cocktails and hangouts in NE1. Here are our top picks…
THE BOTANIST
The Botanist is one of the most bustling spots in town for a gin-infused cocktail or two. The menu is packed with a wide range of creative potions, and the gin offering here is certainly one to celebrate. Floral, fabulous and full of fun... we can't think of a better place to sip this super spirit. Check out The Botanist’s Ginuary sale offers: Masons Dry Yorkshire Gin with cardamom pods and orange zest, Bombay Sapphire with fresh lime and chilli, Whitley Neill Gin with orange and lemon thyme, Liverpool Gin with orange, mint and black pepper and Coarunn with lemon and apple slices - all for just £5.95.
PLEASED TO MEET YOU
If you’d like to learn how to perfectly prepare gin, then look no further than Pleased To Meet You’s masterclass. From the classic G&T, to weird and wonderful concoctions, you’ll be a gin wizard by the time you finish.
BEALIM HOUSE
Bealim House is the place to be for all things G&T. It's Newcastle's first authentic gin distillery, bar and eatery – and it’s home to a wonderful in-house gin still. It's a cool, contemporary spot with an industrial feel - taking you on the journey of the gin you are about to drink. We’ll raise a glass to that!
THE CONTINENTAL
Sip like royalty this Ginuary at The Continental, Newcastle’s luxurious gin palace boasting a beautiful position in a listed building on Collingwood Street. With over 500 gins from all corners of the world behind the bar, it really is a gin-lovers paradise!
