A hug in a glass – gin cocktails for Valentine’s Day 2021<\/h3>\n

After last year, what we all need on Valentine’s Day is a hug. We bring you three cocktails each of which is tantamount to a hug in a glass. This is 2021, so it’s out with the old and in in with the \u2018new normal’. Think of gin not solely as an aperitif or Champagne as the obvious go-to choice. English gin is the perfect way to celebrate Valentine’s Day.<\/p>\n

Brockmans Gin cocktails\u00a0 taste every bit as glamorous as they look and will take you through the evening.<\/p>\n

Brockmans Curious Blue, brimming with blueberry notes to complement this extraordinary gin, with its blueberry and blackberry notes.<\/p>\n
