Limited Edition Crown Martini

Limited Edition Crown Martini

As excitement builds for the Bank Holiday to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III, we are delighted to announce a brand new and limited-edition cocktail – the ‘Crown Martini’.

As excitement builds for the Bank Holiday to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III, we are delighted to announce a brand new and limited-edition cocktail – the ‘Crown Martini’.

Available exclusively online and in John Lewis stores nationwide, the limited edition cocktail is made using Hepple Spirits Co. Gin – a spirit favoured by professional mixologists around the world.

Handcrafted by our small team of bartenders, the Crown Martini has been inspired by special flavours found across the British Isles, with subtle notes of elderflower, rose, rhubarb and cucumber.

The team behind the Northumberland Hepple Spirits gin - used as the foundation of the limited-edition drink - distill using pioneering technology to capture and share ‘the breath-taking character and beauty’ of the estate in the remote Northumbrian hills.

The Hepple Estate is home to a juniper bush planted by HRH King Charles III, after he visited the distillery in 2018, as then HRH Prince of Wales, making it the perfect tipple to celebrate the Coronation this May!

"We’re over the moon to announce that our rather special Crown Martini is set to land in John Lewis stores this spring, just in time for the historic Coronation. A moment to spend some quality time with family and friends, we think it’s the perfect cocktail to raise a glass to celebrate!” Andrew Hutchinson, Co-Founder of Kocktail.

Alcohol Buyer at John Lewis, Daisy Sherwood, said: “We are so excited to exclusively launch The Crown Martini to celebrate the King’s Coronation. A delicious addition to the Kocktail range available online and in store at John Lewis.”

Head Distiller at Hepple Spirits Co., Chris Garden, said: “In 2018, Hepple was delighted to welcome King Charles III to the estate where he planted his own juniper tree. The hills of Northumberland are one of England’s last wild sanctuaries, the protection of this wilderness is something the King passionately advocates for. It is from these hills that we harvest the green juniper, Douglas Fir and blackcurrant leaves. So, the taste of our gin will transport you straight back to our moorland. The Crown Martini is therefore the perfect tipple to celebrate the Coronation.”
