HMS Bird: Alan's creation, based on Navy Strength Gin, full of sense and taste

This cocktail created exclusively by Alan with our Navy Strength Gin Corvus , is ideal for the winter season with warm flavors and citrus notes. The history and flavors behind HMS Bird are just as surprising as each other.

The story

In the old days, the Royal Navy had to ensure that any alcohol carried on board would be flammable as wet gunpowder could be a death sentence in combat. The spirits were therefore tested by mixing a little alcohol with gunpowder and then setting it on fire, if it burned, the transport of the tested spirits was granted. Since then, Gins with an alcohol content of over 57° carry the Navy Strength designation.

Alan therefore named his creation HMS Bird, in reference to the Royal Navy and the famous ship HMS, " Her Majesty's Ship".
