Greengage gin
Item 1 of 1

This gorgeous golden greengage gin is a wonderful addition to any drinks trolley. Preserving the sweet plum's honey-like flavour in gin is the perfect way of making the most of the short season, and it makes a lovely homemade gift. If you fancy something a little more perfumed, try adding half a teaspoon of cloves or some orange rind.
