Inger and Ian have created a lovely micro distillery just a few minutes from the sea in Hove, East Sussex. The Bloody Mary Mix was created and perfected at Ben’s Canteen, a neighbourhood hangout in SW London which was famous for Brunch. After years of customers asking for the unique, herby, spice mix to be bottled for home use, we did exactly that, launching in time for Christmas 2017. Each bottle contains all the Bloody Mary ingredients necessary to make a banging Bloody at home. Note, it’s Vegan, Gluten Free and Non-Alcoholic. There will definitely be more gins in the future, we want to celebrate the local area – we met with local historian Geoff Simmons who gave us some amazing ideas.
