Playwright Gin

Playwright Gin A noteworthy gin celebrating the history of the theatre industry with a distinguishable twist!

Henry VIII had six wives, sparked a religious reformation, and generated enough drama to fill Shakespeare's entire back catalogue. But history has overlooked his greatest contribution.
After tasting cherries in Flanders, he ordered them planted in Kent, introducing the cerasus cherry to English soil for the first time. A fruit with roots tracing back to ancient Turkey, now growing in the English countryside.
We didn't overlook that.
The Playwright Gin is built around the cerasus cherry, a Tudor-era botanical that's been part of England's story for over 500 years. Eleven botanicals. Small batch. London made.
His legacy. Our gin.

Behind every bottle of Playwright Gin is a team willing to look absolutely ridiculous in the name of craft. Hair nets? Check. Beard covers? Double check. Dignity? Left at the distillery door.
Because when you're making small batch gin with 11 botanicals and a 500 year old cherry, you don't cut corners. Even if that means looking like you're about to perform surgery on a bottle.
This is Batch 3. Made by people who care more about what's in the bottle than how they look making it.

Our Secret.
What makes Playwright Gin taste different?
It's a botanical you won't find in any other gin. A cherry with a story that goes back centuries.
Cerasus.
Not your typical cherry. This rare Tudor-era botanical was once prized in English royal gardens for its distinctive character. While other gins rely on the usual suspects, we built our entire recipe around this forgotten fruit.
11 botanicals. One stands above the rest.
That deep, rich complexity you taste? That's 500 years of English heritage in a glass. That's why we call ourselves the cherry-led gin.
Some secrets are worth keeping.
This one's worth sharing.
Batch 3. Available now.

With the sun finally making an appearance in London tomorrow, we're bringing some energy to our cocktails.

The "smash" has been a bartender's go to since the 1800s, designed to showcase whatever's in season.
Here's how to make it:
3-4 slices of fresh strawberries
Squeeze of lime juice
Dash of honey
SMASH those strawberries like you mean it.
Mountains of ice.
50ml Playwright Gin.
Top with soda water to taste.
Garnish with mint and a straw.
Simple. Smashing. Theatrical.

Please drink responsibly. Alcohol should only be consumed by those of legal drinking age.

Showtime.
Behind every bottle of Playwright Gin is a performance you don't see, the careful measure, the precise pour, the moment when 11 botanicals become something greater.
This is Batch 3. The curtain rises on another run of our London craft gin, made the same way we've always done it: with patience, precision, and respect for the craft.
Because showtime isn't just when the lights go up. It's when everything we've rehearsed becomes real.
Playwright Gin. Batch 3. Curtain up.

Bright, citrus led, and built on proper cocktail history.
The Gin Daisy comes from the classic Daisy family of drinks first recorded in the late 19th century. A simple, elegant structure of spirit, citrus, sweetness, and soda. A precursor to today’s sours and long drinks, designed to be refreshing and beautifully balanced.

Our serve:
50ml Playwright Gin
25ml fresh lemon juice
25ml orange liqueur
Goblet packed with ice
Topped with soda
Garnish: mint & lemon

Fresh lemon brings the bite, orange liqueur adds warmth, and soda keeps it light and easy to sip.
