Description

The Welsh Sea Breeze captures the fresh, invigorating character of the Gower Peninsula in a beautifully refreshing gin cocktail.

At its heart is Gŵyr Sea Star Coastal Gin, a Welsh gin inspired by the dramatic coastline of South Wales. Its distinctive botanical character provides the perfect foundation for a vibrant combination of cranberry, grapefruit and fresh lime.

Cranberry juice brings a gentle tartness and beautiful colour, while grapefruit adds a bright citrus character. A splash of freshly squeezed lime juice sharpens the flavours, creating a wonderfully balanced and refreshing drink.

Finished with a grapefruit wedge and a fragrant sprig of rosemary, the Welsh Sea Breeze is as appealing to the eye as it is to the palate.

Whether enjoyed on a warm afternoon, served at a garden gathering or shared with friends over a relaxed evening, this coastal-inspired cocktail brings a little taste of Wales to every glass.
