Journal

From gin stories to cocktail recipes and new limited edition infusions from Wheadon’s small batch distillery, our gin journal will keep you updated and entertained.

Classic Cocktail: French 75

The French 75 is a classy combination of gin, sweet, sour and fizz, that's perfect for the festive season. But, don’t let its elegance conceal the fact that it’s named for a powerful canon with good reason!

Classic Cocktail: White Lady

The White Lady is up there with similar classic cocktails such as the martini, gimlet and negroni in being short, strong, and about as sophisticated as they come.

Classic Cocktail: Clover Club

The Clover Club is a classic gin cocktail right up there with the martini and negroni; it’s a pre-Prohibition classic, and one that works wonderfully with our very own Wheadon’s Gin yuzu, lemongrass and green tea infusion.

Classic Cocktail: The Bramble

The slow slide of summer towards autumn is somewhat sweetened by the fruits of the hedgerows, in particular blackberries - the inspiration behind the contemporary classic British cocktail, the Bramble.

Lemon Iced Tea - Simply the Zest!

When life gives you lemons, make a gin infused lemon iced tea! That’s how the expression goes, right?

Cocktail: Summer Fruit Cup

Summer’s here, and that means deck chairs, sunny afternoons in the garden, the sound of somebody else playing tennis, and possibly a jug of Pimm's. Pimm's is the most famous pre-mixed summer fruit cup, but you can make your own using Wheadon's Gin.

Martini Twists: A Guide

A true Martini is a botanical balancing act consisting of gin, vermouth, and the appropriate garnish served in a cold glass, however there is still some room for interpretation within the classic recipe using these well-known "Martini twists".

Cocktail: Southside (South Coast)

Summer’s almost here, so it’s the perfect time to share with you this classic cocktail, which we’ve renamed with a nod to our location on Guernsey’s south coast.

Cocktail: The Greyhound

Often said to be as fast to make as its namesake, the Greyhound is a classic cocktail and one which Wheadon's Gin's flagship infusion of pink grapefruit and rock samphire works exceptionally well in.

Cocktail: Marmalade

As the short season for Seville oranges draws to a close for another year, we celebrate this Spanish citrus fruit with a classic cocktail based upon the bitter-sweet breakfast favourite, marmalade.
