THE COOL CLUB
When we think of Valentine’s day we think of love, romance, sweet cocktails, indulgence and a gin like no other… Boe Violet! This gin has been on our radar for a while and when they accepted our invitation to join us for our Valentines special Drink of the Month, we just knew it would be love at first site.
This ‘Say it with Flowers’ recipe is the perfect serve for your loved one. The combination of Boe Violet, plenty of large ice cubes and a top up of rose lemonade means you can count on this sweet cocktail to sweeten your loved one up on the most romantic occasion of the year.
If that’s not a reason to pick up the ingredients, then why not get to know Boe in the Q&A below and let it turn your head this Valentines Day….
What is the story behind your name Boe?

Where are your range of colourful gins distilled?
In the village of Throsk, 5 miles from Stirling.
What was the inspiration behind Boe Violet?
We wanted to bring something new to gin lovers, not yet another Navy strength gin. We got inspiration from the cocktail market where Aviation is a classic (it is a violet colour and contains creme de violette). We decided to go with Violet gin.

Serving of Boe Violet Gin, a serving of a neutral tonic, plenty of large ice cubes and garnished with pink grapefruit.
