Get into the Christmas spirit

If you’re looking for a gift this Christmas that offers a taste of Cornwall, look no further than Elemental.

Using organic grain alcohol and local Cornish spring water from Bodmin Moor, Elemental gin captures the essence of Cornwall in every bottle. Distilled at the bottom of Nicki and Joe Woolley’s garden, their gin is as low-impact as possible, made in genuinely small batches, each bottle filled by hand. The bottles are fully recyclable and labelled with a non-plastic print method that complements the company’s ethos of ‘simple, beautiful, and hand-crafted’, and their beautiful shape and cork stopper makes them perfect to be re-used as treasure bottles for sea glass or candlestick holders when the nights draw in.

When it comes to a special Christmas gift, it’s no surprise that Elemental Classic Gin is the most popular; full of peppery juniper and a pinch of coriander it’s a smooth, mellow, sippable gin with lively citrus notes. For a winter treat, why not forage some blackberries and make your own Bramble cocktail? Elemental recently teamed up with Millie from Harbour Beach Café, Watergate Bay, for a feast night where they created a sweet serve.

Our next go-to gift would be a bottle of Elemental Winter Berry Gin. Steeped with blackberry and sloe, this boozy 40% deep red spirit is so super-smooth that it can be enjoyed simply poured over ice with a slice of orange peel, or mixed with clementine tonic for a beautiful Christmas drink. If you just can’t decide, then Elemental’s mixed mini boxes mean you can gift the taste of the whole Elemental range. The online shop makes Christmas present buying a dream; in just a few clicks, your bottle (or bottles!) of choice will be posted direct to your door. Elemental use Flexi-Hex packaging for all of their retail bottles, which is totally plastic-free and recyclable and for wholesale and larger orders are proud to reuse packaging that unavoidably comes into the distillery rather than send it to landfill.

There are five gins to choose from: Classic, Spring Citrus, Apple, Raspberry and Blackberry and Sloe, and two beach-ready cans, a traditional G&T and an Apple Gin Fizz, perfect for when the weather warms as a beach or picnic tipple.
