Gin Mare is a super-premium handcrafted Mediterranean Gin distilled in small batches in a Florentine Copper Pot Still in a small village on the Mediterranean Coast just outside Barcelona. Distinguishing itself from traditional London Dry gins, Gin Mare is best defined by the flavours of its essential botanicals, Arbequina Olive, Thyme, Rosemary, and Basil sourced from 4 different Mediterranean countries. It is also known for the individual distillation and subsequent blending of its eight distillates.
Gin Mare is an unusual savoury and balanced gin with aromas of herbs.
Rosemary, thyme, olive, and basil included in the botanical line up as
well as citrus, cardamom and coriander and juniper berries. It’s made
in the town of Vilanova, just outside the city of Barcelona.
I had the pleasure to attend Gin Mare Med Rooftops in Knightsbridge. Inspired by Gin Mare’s infusion of unique savoury botanicals and the Mediterranean spirit of relaxation, the beautifully decorated rooftop offered a place to escape and explore the unique tastes, textures, sounds and smelled of the Gin Mare.
On arrival, we were sent upstairs to the roof terrace through an arch of manicured botanical hedge of olives, fragrant rosemary, and basil leaves and other herbs – the smells were tantalizing together with an imaginative Gin Mare summer cocktail in hand we felt truly relaxed and ready for summer party.
We discovered the intricacies of the “Mare Nostrum” via the finest Mediterranean menu with an English twist by celebrity chef Mark Hix and his team at Hix Restaurants. The cocktails on the rooftop included with salt and strawberry (Fresa Fizz). The oyster area serving a selection of oysters pairing with more gin cocktails like Red tonic, Ocean Sunrise and Mare Gin tonic.

As the sun went down the rooftop, we soaked in the atmosphere over sounds by DJ Jacob, the resident DJ at Pacha Ibiza. Plenty of inspiration to mix some Gin Mare at home and continue the party!

The only spirit I like is gin – oh goodness this sounds so fine! I could just drink some! Great post and photos. Kaz x
Woah these pics are seriously good lovely, and the food looks amazing too. I am not a fan of gin but in these photos you have made me want to give it a second chance 🙂 x
Wow, how amazing! That cocktail totally reminds me of a tequila sunrise though ????
I'm not a huge fan of gin, but I don like gin cocktails so I'm slightly torn on this.
Classy and fun event to enjoy Gin mare. Adding it in the oyster is a great way to enjoy the drink and food at the same time.
Now I'm not one for gin drinking but this looks absolutely fabulous!! xxx
I don't really drink gin, more of a vodka lover. I love the bottle.
What a great event. Love the story behind the brand, I would love to try their gin.
I do like a nice gin. Preferably in a G&T. This one sounds lovely and the bottle is great.
I do love a Gin Mare – and quite a few others as well! Sounds like the perfect evening! Chin Chin 🙂
