Celebrate World Cocktail Day with a Local Tipple!

On the 13th May 2024 it’s World Cocktail Day!

As World Cocktail Day approaches, it’s time to raise a glass and toast the art of mixology. At Barton Grange Garden Centre, we’re celebrating our local distilleries who make an amazing range of craft spirits to elevate cocktail hour.

We’re proud to stock a range of gins that showcase our talented local suppliers. From the coastal charm of Morecambe to the lush orchards and fields of Lancashire, each distillery brings something unique to the glass.

Let’s meet the makers!

 

Nestled along the picturesque shores of Morecambe, Bay Distilleries capture authentic flavours in every bottle. Their commitment to quality and tradition shines through, making their gin a must-try for any cocktail enthusiast.

What sets Black Powder Distillery apart is their dedication to using ingredients sourced from their own orchards or the finest producers in the region. With each sip, you can taste the care and attention that goes into crafting their exceptional spirits.

Award-winning and proud, Brindle Distillery’s Cuckoo Gin is a testament to their passion for perfection. From the spring water sourced from their own fields to the natural ingredients and botanicals infused into every batch, their gin is a true taste of Lancashire.

For those who appreciate sustainability and craftsmanship, Spirit of Garstang delivers the highest quality in every sip. Their hand-crafted gins burst with fresh flavours and aromas thanks to their commitment to using sustainably sourced botanicals.
