Craft Gin Club (www.craftginclub.co.uk) is the UK's biggest gin subscription club, with over 100,000 gin-loving members trusting its connoisseurs to seek out the very best artisan gins from the UK, and around the world, each month. This Easter, the expert curators and mixologists at Craft Gin Club have worked with Cornwall's Tarquin's Gin team to bring gin fans a stunning limited-edition craft gin that's perfect for Easter and beyond, Tarquin's Hot Cross Bun Gin (ABV 42%, £37.00 per 70cl bottle), available exclusively from Craft Gin Club (no membership needed!).

A symphony of mouth-watering spice and dried fruit flavours, which you would normally find in a hot cross bun, it is a beautiful edition that no gin fan will want to miss! Warming Easter spices are joined by rich juniper on the nose and wonderful, sweet fruit notes on the smooth palate. They all last long into the luxurious finish. Serve with a premium Indian tonic or ginger ale and garnish with fresh orange and a sprig of rosemary.

The botanicals: juniper, fresh lemon, fresh orange, fresh grapefruit, orris root, green cardamon, bitter almond, coriander seed, cinnamon, angelica root, violets, carrot, mulberries, vanilla pods and dried orange peel and Pedro Ximenez sherry.

Also new to Craft Gin Club for Easter is the Egg Royale Chocolate Liqueur (ABV 15%, £25.00 per 70cl bottle), which has to be the best chocolate Easter egg for grownups for 2023! Nestled in a gorgeous box of gold and teal, discover a chocolate egg shaped glass bottle filled to the brim with creamy chocolate liqueur from the creative minds at Gravity Drinks. Made with the finest cocoa, lashings of real cream and mellow touches of vanilla, the chocolate liqueur is wonderful simply served over ice or mixed into cocktails, it also makes for a luxurious ice cream topping and it's a great way to add a boozy kick to chocolate icing for an adults-only celebration cake.
