For this Year of the Tiger, Peddlers are honouring the might of the majestic tiger with a limited-edition bundle featuring a celebratory gift for customers - a fire red enamel cocktail drinking cup accompanying each bottle of Peddlers Rare Shanghai Gin. Epitomising the spirit of China, the limited-edition cup is embellished with beautiful illustrations, embodying the story of Peddlers Rare Shanghai Gin, the first craft gin to emerge from China.
Distilled in China, which boasts more diversity in ingredients than arguably any other continent, Peddlers is infused with notes of Sichuan Pepper, Buddha's Hand, Lotus Flower, Chinese Mint, Guangdong Liquorice, and Coriander Seeds. Each of these organic botanicals has been foraged from unique locations across China to bring to life this hand-crafted spirit, telling a sensory story of the diversity of flora and fauna found in the East - a homage to China's rich culinary history.
Encouraging customers to indulge in the customs of China and bestow luck upon themselves for the 12 moons ahead, Peddlers have created a special Spirit Of The Tiger Recipe Collection to celebrate Lunar New Year:
