I love a classic gin but I&#8217;m always keen to try something new and a little more unusual.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Zymurgorium Gin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/daisyhatami\/44756868452\/in\/photostream\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1852\/44756868452_32a7a2e3c7_b.jpg\" alt=\"Zymurgorium Gin\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is a gin that tastes JUST like Parma Violet sweets. You know, the classic British sweets from Swizzles.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a fan of Parma Violets then you&#8217;re going to love this gin. It has a violet base but is made with\u00a020 botanicals to balance the flavours.\u00a0It captures the tastes of Parma Violets\u00a0perfectly. It isn&#8217;t overbearingly sweet and works well with mixers.<\/p>\n<p>I was originally sent a bottle of this from my friends at 31Dover, they treat me well. I&#8217;ve since re-purchased it for my mum and stocked up on another bottle for when I can drink again. This gin is a perfect gifting gin. It has the nostalgia of childhood sweets while being truly delicious.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Zymurgorium Violet Gin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/daisyhatami\/44756872522\/in\/photostream\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1900\/44756872522_1db83d5db0_b.jpg\" alt=\"Zymurgorium Violet Gin\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>How to use Sweet Violet Gin Liqueur<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I love drinking this gin neat. It really doesn&#8217;t need anything else with it. However, if you&#8217;re in need of a long drink try mixing it with tonic or soda or if you have a sweet tooth, lemonade. You can also use it within cocktails in place of\u00a0\u00a0Cr\u00e8me de Violette.<\/p>\n<p>You can really get creative with this gin. How about a Violet Gin Drizzle cake? Keep an eye out here on PGT for\u00a0a boozy milkshake recipe coming later this week.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Grab yourself a bottle of\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.31dover.com\/zymurgorium.html\">Zymurgorium Sweet Violet Gin Liqueur from 31Dover<\/a> or simply check out all the different flavours they have in stock &#8211; they have some fab bundles.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you heard of Zymurgorium?
