The O’Briens Gin Sale of dreams is back and trust us, you’ve got to try these cocktails

The thirst-quenching refreshment of a G&T is a whole lot more than a summer sensation, and the folks at O’Briens Wine are giving us plenty of (g)inspiration for the season ahead...

The largest family-owned retailer in Ireland, O’Briens Wines are purveyors of an extensive selection of both Irish and international beers, spirits and - wait for it - wines! Whether it be online or across any one of their 34 stores throughout the country, they’ve always got sensational sales on some of our very favourite booze. At the moment, they just so happen to be offering up to 36% off all the best-known favourites from Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin to Bombay Sapphire. Also appearing in the sale is the very first gin produced by the Masters and Apprentices of Midleton Distillery; Method & Madness Irish Gin.

The result of some good old fashioned experimentation, this gin’s got a mix of 16 eclectic botanicals with key notes of black lemon and Irish gorse. The earthy pine flavour, notes of citrus and slow roasted spice finish go down all too well, but here are some ways to shake up this spirit to create incredible cocktails all year round...
