Shed One Valentini Cocktail

Our latest collaboration showcases Shed Loads of Love Gin. Full of floral and strawberry notes with a hint of chilli, it won a Great Taste Award and the judges described it as: Lavender florals are apparent on the nose along with strawberry. Buoyancy of fruit and flowers is followed by a pleasant wave of chilli, plus the gin botanicals sitting deep. Tonic opens up the strawberry and florals even further. Perfect for your Valentine any time of the year.

Lockdown’s been difficult for everyone, but we’ve been very grateful for all the support we have from our customers. We’re looking forward to welcoming the public back to The Shed when it’s safe. We’re also excited to have more Weddings at The Shed and we think this cocktail will be perfect for the couples and their guests!
