Last Christmas, Marks & Spencer showed off the festive charm with the launch of the Clementine Gin Liqueur Snow Globe, and now they're back with another luxury-themed delight Come celebrate the arrival of summer. If you have a back garden, the Elderflower Gin Liqueur Glitter Globe is perfect for an outdoor date and also gives you an excuse to try a cocktail recipe you've never tried before.
If you haven't guessed from the name, the main selling point of this limited edition gin is the 23-karat gold leaf. Thankfully, the addition doesn't increase the price of the summer essential, which retails at £15. As Good Housekeeping points out, gin and elderflower are a common combination that provide floral notes to any cocktail.
Marks and Sparks recommend mixing 25ml of the liqueur with 150-200ml of Prosecco and garnishing with a wedge of lemon or raspberry - they aptly call it 'We Are All Gin'. cocktail.
Speaking of Prosecco, M&S is selling an accompanying bottle which they describe as "containing delicate golden bubbles". As Delish writes, Conte Priuli Prosecco (£10) provides extra "flavors of green fruit and citrus" and is perfect for the recipe above.
