At only 20-years-old, Charles Waugh Tanqueray took over the gin company after his father, Charles Tanqueray, passed away. Tanqueray master distiller Tom Nichol looked to the younger Tanqueray for the inspiration behind the gin’s newest edition: Tanqueray Bloomsbury. The original recipe goes back to 1880, when the Tanqueray distillery was based out of Bloomsbury, England.

Tanqueray Bloomsbury features prominent notes of Tuscan juniper along with additional botanicals including coriander, angelica, winter savoury and cassia bark.

“I wanted to make something that was completely different from our other limited editions and with this gin I do feel we have achieved that. It is very inspirational to work with an original Tanqueray family recipe, and for it to taste this good,” says Nichol.

Spritzes aren’t just for summer – try this winter pomegranate version

This wintery take on the beloved spritz formula uses rosé and pomegranate

There's perhaps no drink more iconic of summer than the Aperol Spritz, with its bright summery color, fresh flavors, and sparkling chill. But spritzes needn't only be for summer. The essential features of wine plus sparkling water are an invitation to mix and match with different flavors, additions, and juices to create something that keeps the sparkling quality but changes to match your mood.

One such winter spritz suggestion comes from wine brand The Pale Rosé by Sacha Lichine, which offers a delicate rosé which keeps the fruity character of many similar wines but offers a drier, more delicate flavor that is well suited to mixing. If you've been put off trying rosé from too many encounters with very sweet options like White Zinfandel, then you might enjoy this as crisper and more subtle alternative.
