Norfolk gin makers create new tipple for the Queen

November 26, 2020

According to Eastern Daily Press:

A couple who run a distillery in west Norfolk, formerly on the Sandringham estate, have just launched a new gin for the Queen.

Called the Sandringham Gin…it’s made from local ingredients sourced from the Queen’s Norfolk 20,000 acre estate such as sharon fruit and myrtle foliage.

The foliage from myrtle plants also grown on the estate, originated from a cutting taken from Princess Alexandra’s wedding bouquet on her marriage to Prince Albert Edward, who later became King Edward VII.

The Queen is said to enjoy a pre dinner gin mixed with Dubonnet.
