Description
6 O'Clock Spiced Orange & Cranberry Gin
6 O’Clock Gin is a range of strikingly-smooth artisan gins, handcrafted in small batches, using traditional skills and only the best natural ingredients.
It is a craft gin brand owned and operated by the family-run, artisan spirit company, Bramley & Gage, based in Thornbury on the outskirts of Bristol in the UK.
The 6 O’clock name was inspired by the long-held family tradition of indulging in the first G&T of the evening at 6 O’Clock; a very British custom with colonial roots, still enjoyed at the distillery and shared by gin-lovers all over the world.
Whilst their Spiced Orange & Cranberry gin is perfect at Christmas, you can also embrace the festive spirit all year by enjoying it!
It's created by using fresh orange peels, and tart cranberries. These are then allowed to steep in their classic botanical recipe.
Joining the classic juniper nose are zesty citrus and warming spice aromas.
On the palate the tart cranberries come through early, quickly joined by a sweetness from orange. These give a perfectly balanced fruitiness, which is followed by the festive spices of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. These build a complexity, with the juniper as a backbone to the flavours.
It leaves a pleasantly lingering warm finish, with a citrusy zestiness.

Perfect Serve
This is a truly versatile gin and it works equally well in the mix as it does in a classic gin & tonic.
For a deliciously festive inspired gin & tonic take a large glass filled with ice and add 50ml of the gin. Gently pour over 150ml of your chosen tonic. We like this with East Imperial Tonic Water, as the touch of cinnamon in the tonic works well with the gin. Stir gently and garnish with a twist of orange.
If you're looking for an alternative to mulled wine, gently warm some apple juice with a cinnamon stick in it. When warm (not boiling), pour over 50ml of the gin. A perfect way to warm yourself on a cold winter day.
