Bloody Bens
The guys from Ben's Canteen in London have made a gin! Handcrafted from a small copper still in the bar area of Ben’s Canteen in London, in addition to juniper it contains honey and oranges, as well as 10 other botanicals. The Wandsworth honey represents living and working in London, while the oranges represent holidaying and dreaming in Mallorca – as, so we're told, the eponymous Ben often likes to do. Garnish with a slice of orange and a sprig of lavender.
Oh, and what's with the name? It's really very simple: the guys behind Bloody Bens are just huge fans of Bloody Marys.

It's bloody amazing... thank
I had this at Hook Beer fest on Saturday night with Mediterranean tonic and garnished with orange. Really nice.
I tried this on Friday night when I stumbled across the bar where it is made and couldn’t believe my luck having only read about it here earlier that week. I LOVED it! It was served with orange and lavender garnish and Mediterranean tonic - delish!
