A match made in ... hell.
Nothing says festive like some brussels sprouts.
Well why push them around the plate at Christmas dinner when you can drink them instead?
Pickering’s Gin has created a new Brussels sprouts flavoured gin which - let's be honest - sounds slightly better than the mini-green cabbages themselves. It's been distilled using 100kg of Brussels sprouts from a farm in Scotland.
Metro.co.uk describe it as having "a 'sprouty’ aroma with a ‘surprisingly sweet’, slightly nutty taste with a green, herbaceous and peppery twang". Ok then.
The sprout gin is part of a limited edition six-pack of Christmas inspired gin baubles which also include a Figgy Pudding and Cranberry flavours too.
Marcus Pickering, Co-Founder and Head of Export at the company said:
"This year we really wanted to spice things up and to take the original and best gin bauble to the next level.
"It was an interesting challenge trying to balance the unmistakable flavour of brussels sprouts to get the taste just right – and the distillery had a very distinct aroma while the gin was being distilled!
"However, we love the end result and it is the ideal tipple for friends and family to share together this Christmas".
You can pick up your Brussel Sprouts gin over on their website.
