World Gin Day has been and gone for 2011, and what a day it was! I personally was in London for lunch and afternoon drinks and then escaped back to Birmingham to host a party. Needless to say it was a busy day, especially with running all the competitions on Twitter and Facebook and interacting with the posts.

It’s been said that Bombay Sapphire might be a suitable gin to start vodka drinkers on, as it’s light and very subtle. It appears that Hoxton Gin may have taken this one step further, with a gin that your malibu totting friends will love.
