World Gin Day on June 14, why not follow the cocktail trail and Tweet your
favourite to @informededin using the hashtag #CocktailTrail. Each of the
cocktails featured in the trail has been created using Gilt Gin, a Scottish
craft gin produced from only the finest malt barley and botanicals of the
highest standard in a bespoke still to enhance the natural flavours.
