Gin is the ideal drink for the summer. Whether you enjoy a G&T in the garden or a gin cocktail on a Friday night, it's always a treat.

Given holidays abroad won't be on the agenda for most this Summer, we're constantly looking for drinks that will make us feel like we're away on a sunny shore. The good news for gin lovers is that Italian distiller, Bottega, is launching its ever-so-popular Gin Bacûr in the UK for the first time. With a botanical taste that's sure to remind you of the Mediterranean, the gin is also so pretty to look at, coming in a mirrored copper glass bottle.

If you're looking for a drink that will transport you from your garden to sunny Italy, look no further than this beautiful bottle. Flavour-wise, expect botanicals that will delight the senses. Bottega says the gin is made with "water from the Alps and the finest Italian botanicals; juniper from Tuscany; sage from Triveneto, alongside Sicilian lemon zest, that all come together to create the gin’s aromatic flavour and character. Smooth and balanced, it delicately warms the palate."
