Add a touch of magic to your celebrations this year with Caorunn Classic Gin – a crisp, full-bodied London Dry gin that’s bursting with festive flavour.
Handcrafted in the Scottish Highlands, Caorunn is uniquely infused with five locally foraged Celtic botanicals and six traditional gin botanicals, distilled in the world’s only working Copper Berry Chamber to create a flavour that’s as memorable as the season.
The result? A refreshing, slightly spicy gin with a crisp, clean finish – perfect for raising a glass with friends and family over the Christmas period.
Serve with chilled tonic, ice, and a slice of red apple for a festive twist on the classic G&T.
And it doesn’t stop there. Caorunn Gin is sharing two seasonal cocktails guaranteed to bring some cheer to your Christmas drinks menu.
APPLE TODDY
This cocktail is a take on the classic hot toddy. Featuring Caorunn Classic, the Apple Toddy is a warm, spiced winter cocktail featuring Caorunn Classic Gin, apple cider, and Grand Marnier. Infused with orange zest and ground cloves, it’s the perfect cosy serve for festive gatherings.

MINCE PIE ROYAL
Featuring Caorunn Classic, the Mince Pie Royal is a sparkling festive serve that combines Caorunn Classic Gin, apple juice, and homemade mince pie syrup, topped with champagne. It’s a luxurious twist on seasonal flavours, perfect for holiday toasts.
