History & Origins

The Laverstoke was created as a signature serve for Bombay Sapphire gin, associated with the brand's Laverstoke Mill distillery that opened in 2014. It reflects the contemporary British trend of elaborate gin serves that showcase botanical garnishes and complementary mixers. While the origin is nominally tied to Bombay Sapphire, the recipe is widely adapted and the drink is considered a modern British gin cocktail of disputed commercial origin.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh mint and elderflower dominate, with gin's juniper and botanicals, a hint of ginger spice, and lime citrus. Palate: Light and refreshing, with elderflower's floral sweetness balanced by tonic's bitterness and gin's botanical complexity; vermouth adds a subtle herbal depth and ginger provides a warming spice accent. Finish: Clean, herbal, and slightly bitter with lingering mint and elderflower.

Pro Tip

Add the mint sprig last and clap it between your palms before placing it in the glass to release the essential oils and maximize its aromatic impact.
