Cheeky G&T anyone? Here are some of the best and most unusual gin flavours you can buy.
Gin has fast become one of the most popular spirits of 2018. From fruity to festive, we've rounded up the best (and weirdest) flavours you can buy.
Victoria's rhubarb gin - Warner Edwards - £5-£38
Described as a 'classic cocktail with a twist', the added lemon and sugar creates a sherbert-like flavour with a burst of rhubarb.
Interestingly, this gin has a royal twist to it, as it's been made using a crop of rhubarb originally grown in the kitchen garden of Buckingham Palace. One third of the gin is fresh rhubarb, which creates a 'sweet and tangy royal rhubarb explosion' in the mouth'. Yum!

Lemon drizzle cake gin - B&M - £9.99
Yep, it's actually a thing. B&M sell a Lemon Drizzle Cake gin, and by all accounts it's pretty darn tasty. Described as having a 'zingy lemon and light sugar syrup taste', it's definitely one for the sweet-toothed people of the UK.

Chocolate Gin - Amazon - £36.99
Because anything that tastes of chocolate is totally fine by us, right?

More than a dozen botanicals also add a bit of zest to this unique tipple.
