Coombes Club Gin – Sloe & Orange Gin

The latest addition to our club, is our all new Sloe and Orange gin. We spent most of 2021 meeting fellow gin lovers and it became apparent that you wanted more. With winter on the way and a history of enjoying sloe gin we set out to make our own.

We listened…You said you wanted full strength sloe gin. We wanted to create a sloe gin that still tastes like ‘gin’. At 38% its punchy but the sloe and orange comes through perfectly giving it that warming winter feel.

Cindy’s Kitchen Gift Voucher

Cindy’s Kitchen UK is an Indonesian and Asian food specialist in Winslow, Buckinghamshire. Cindy moved to the UK in 2012 and saw that there was a lack of Indonesian food in restaurants and takeaways. People didn’t know enough about Indonesian food other than its iconic dishes such as satay, rendang (caramelized beef curry), and nasi goreng (fried rice). So she made it her mission to introduce Indonesian food to her friends and neighbour’s in the UK, and in 2016, Cindy’s Kitchen UK was founded.

You can try her food fortnightly “Winslow Friday Meal Takeaway”. The menu is changing every time, so why not join her mailing list and get it straight to your inbox? [email protected]
