THE COOL CLUB
If there is one day The Ice Co get really excited about it’s this…World Gin Day, falling on 9th June this year! Named Britain’s favourite spirit and with it’s very own day of the year, how could we not be involved with the celebrations?
With over 315 distilleries in the UK producing a vast range of excellent craft gins, we have hand-picked 5 of our favourites, including a suggested serve for each to enjoy this World Gin Day.
