Champagne and Oyster Cocktail

Champagne and Oysters go hand in hand, a combination that has worked for generations, the food of love and the drink of lovers.

Oysters, an aphrodisiac, are extremely rich in zinc, which is essential for testosterone production and Champagne always improves a situation and puts a smile on your face.

The Oyster Gin

The world’s first Oyster Gin, they use Oyster shells from the Loch Fyne in Scotland, it’s Scotland’s longest sea loch, extending 40 miles inland, fresh from the Argyll Coast, to add a delicate maritime essence. they also blend with a mix of citrus botanicals, creating a savoury gin that is perfect to pair with seafood.

You can try this Oyster Gin for yourself or look at their other selection on their website right here.

Tasting Notes – “The Gin is rather nice, it’s not overpowering and contains a slightly silky, Oyster like texture with a touch of citrus.”
