Didsbury Christmas Pudding Gin Liqueur to launch

by Melita Kiely

British gin brand Didsbury is gearing up for the festive period with the launch of a limited edition Christmas pudding-flavoured gin liqueur.

Bottled at 18% abv, Didsbury Christmas Pudding Gin Liqueur is said to have flavours of juniper, cinnamon, nutmeg and mixed spices, and is recommended served over ice or warm. The Christmas release follows the brand’s Original, and Raspberry and Elderflower expressions, which are available to purchase from Selfridges and Harvey Nichols. Didsbury Christmas Pudding Gin Liqueur will be available to purchase from Selfridges, priced at £17.50 (US$22.80) for a 200ml bottle, or £28.50 (US$37) for a 500ml bottle. Liam Manton, co-founder of Didsbury Gin along with Mark Smallwood, said: “There’s some really creative gin-based drinks being made at the moment and it was very important for us to ensure juniper was at the forefront of our gin liqueur. “After the success of our Original and Raspberry and Elderflower flavours, we thought we’d create something festive and a little different. Our vision was to create Christmas in a glass – now you can get it in a bottle.”
