Gin Lane 1751 Violet is a Victorian-style flavored gin with a natural light violet hue, made by infusing fresh violet leaf oils into an eight-botanical gin and bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
Gin Lane 1751 is produced in the heart of London and handcrafted in small batches by eighth-generation distiller Charles Maxwell at Thames Distillers. The brand takes its name from the Gin Act of 1751 and William Hogarth's famous print Gin Lane. Violet belongs to the Victorian Garden Series, inspired by the fruits, flowers and herbs of the Victorian garden, and was created with the classic Aviation cocktail in mind.
Juniper and vanilla meet fresh, all-natural violet for a fragrant, floral and slightly sweet gin, balancing flavor and freshness.
The violet color and Victorian label make it a striking gift.
Violet has been a classic cocktail flavor since the early 1900s.
The Aviation combines gin, maraschino, lemon and violet.
Flavored gins in this style still keep juniper at the core.
Serve it over ice with a premium light tonic.
A lemon wheel brightens the floral notes.
It pairs with light desserts, berries and shortbread.
It is a lovely bottle for spring and summer parties.
Try it in a gin fizz with egg white for a silky foam.
It makes a beautiful addition to a home bar shelf.
It is a fun gift for anyone who loves floral cocktails.
Keep it out of direct sunlight to protect the color.
