Rachel Hicks from Sky Wave Gin in Bicester reveals the secret to finding a sumptuous craft gin that makes your tastebuds sing.
Q: Why don’t you begin by telling us what craft gin is?
A: Craft gins are truly special spirits, crafted by hand and often in small batches, they represent the distiller s passion for creating a superb gin with great provenance.
For example, we handpick foraged blackberries from the Oxfordshire hedgerows for our Signature London Dry and use Blenheim Palace natural mineral water for an exquisite finish. Every full-sized bottle is hand signed with the name of the day’s distiller. Drinkers feel a direct link to the source of their gin.
TWO Oxfordshire chefs are set to open their first restaurant, building on the success of their mobile pizza business. Although Covid restrictions and lockdowns meant the pair could not tour various food shows and cater at events as they normally would, their pizzas have continued to be a hit with the locals. They are now due to open a bistro next Wednesday at Greenhill Leisure Park in Kidlington and are offering customers more than just their signature pizzas. Mr Holman said: When lockdown started we closed for a couple of weeks and we had a load of weddings cancelled and rescheduled. Then we opened at The Angel pub in Bicester for two nights a week as a delivery service and since last April it s been a really good year for us.
