Mixing up a delicious blend of botanicals, including the flavours of sea samphire and lavender, it’s very much a taste of Norfolk. We’re readying our highball glasses for the pretty Strawberry &amp; Passion Fruit gin or zingy Tawny Orange! Head to the WhataHoot bar (a Muddy Awards 2024 winner) and distillery in a 16th century warehouse in King’s Lynn to sample the full range or make your own.</p><p>£40 for 70cl</p><p><a href="https://whatahoot.co.uk/collections">Buy now</a></p></div></div></div></div>

It is a name that’s synonymous with the history of Norwich and well-known for supplying beers, wines and spirits. Their award-winning handcrafted gins include the likes of Strawberry &amp; Black Pepper, Coastal, London Dry and Old Tom. There’s something to tempt all tastes and here at Muddy we’re quite partial to an Old Tom, with its aromas of honey, pink pepper, vanilla and mango.</p><p>£45 for 70cl (plus they have a rather eco-friendly refill pouch)</p><p><a href="https://bullardsspirits.co.uk/">Buy now</a></p></div></div></div></div>

This fruity pink gin is infused with subtle notes of peach and cherry and is perfect served straight up over ice, or for a longer drink serve with Champagne or prosecco. Wild Knight Distillery also produces vodka and I strongly suggest you try their Nelson’s Gold, vodka and handmade caramel – it’s a cheeky little number!</p><p>£34.75 for 50cl</p><p><a href="https://www.wildknightdistillery.co.uk/collections/boadicea-gin">Buy now</a></p></div></div></div></div>

It’s London Dry took home a silver award at the World Gin Awards in 2023, but if you’re in the market for a sweeter gin, there’s Strawberry &amp; Mint and Raspberry, but we’d recommend the Pineapple &amp; Black Pepper, which is fantastically fruity yet spicy and perfect with ice and fresh mint. And when you&#8217;ve finished your bottle, pop into the distillery during opening hours for a refill.</p><p>£40 for 70cl</p><p><a href="https://homefarmgin.co.uk/product-category/gins/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Buy now</a></p></div></div></div></div>

Resourceful! But queen of our hearts is the Cherry Gin with its sweet and fruity profile and citrusy tang – ideal for lazy days by the river, or in the garden.
