Cocktail shakers at the ready, summer is here! The sunny days and balmy evenings are ideal for chilling in your garden with friends  - and a homemade cocktail or two is definitely on the cards. Our exclusive Miller’s Floral Gin is the perfect ingredient for making gin based summer cocktails that you will love.

Miller’s Floral Gin is distilled in the heart of the English countryside, using the finest ingredients and techniques to create our premium gin. Using the classic single shot method of distillation which creates the highest quality gin, we blend carefully selected botanicals which are lovingly distilled in a copper alembic named Velocity. Our gin has botanical notes of elderflower, juniper, lemongrass, sweet orange and heather which creates a really smooth and unique tasting gin!
