CraftingYour Own Signature Gin

An afternoon spent crafting your own gin is a truly rewarding experience. Imagine the satisfaction of savouring a gin and tonic made with your own signature blend. Join me as we embark on a delightful journey of gin-making using the Cadeau Gin-Making kit. In just four simple steps, we'll create a personalised gin infused with carefully chosen botanicals.

STEP 1: PREPARE AND STERILISE THE JAR

To begin our gin-making adventure, ensure you have a clean and sterilised jar and lid. Give them a thorough wash with hot soapy water, rinse well, and let them air dry. This step sets the foundation for creating a pristine environment for our gin infusion.

STEP 2: SELECT AND ADD YOUR BOTANICALS

The Cadeau Gin-Making kit offers a range of botanical options to customise your gin's flavour profile. Choose from a selection of delights, such as angelica root, orange peel, cardamom pods, and more. Pick the botanicals that ignite your curiosity and imagination.

STEP 3: INFUSE AND WAIT

Pour the vodka into the glass jar containing the chosen botanicals and seal the lid tightly. Find a cool place away from direct sunlight to store the jar. Allow the gin to infuse for a patient 48 hours, during which time the flavours will harmonise and meld together, creating a unique blend.

STEP 4: STRAIN AND ENJOY

Once the gin has reached its optimal infusion, it's time to strain and transfer it into the final bottle. Place a paper filter inside the funnel and position it in the gin bottle. Carefully pour the infused gin through the filter, removing any impurities and capturing a smooth, refined spirit.

Give the gin a day or two to settle in the bottle, allowing its flavours to further develop and mature. When you're ready to indulge, serve your handcrafted gin over ice or mix it with tonic water for a refreshing gin and tonic. Enhance the experience with a garnish of cucumber, lemon, or lime, adding a touch of freshness to each sip.


Crafting your own gin with the Cadeau Gin-Making kit is a rewarding endeavour that allows you to express your creativity and taste preferences. By following these simple steps, you'll unlock the art of gin-making and delight in the pleasure of sipping a drink that bears your personal touch.

An afternoon making gin is an afternoon well spent. So, raise your glass, say "Cin Cin," and relish the satisfaction of a truly bespoke gin experience!
