'ANTI-AGEING GIN', ANYONE? Camilla Brown, 32, and Liz Beswick, 31, are owners of Young in Spirit, an innovative drinks company 'beautifying the world of spirits'. They launched the world's first gin with added collagen, aptly named: Collagin, in 2017. The brand now has three products in the range, including the limited edition Collagin Pink Rose which is steam distilled with rose petals, and the original Collagin 5cl minis. The beautiful, Chanel inspired gin has caused a media frenzy worldwide and is now stocked in the UK, all over Europe, South Africa, Australia and the US. Recently, the Oxford based 'Gintrepreneurs' secured two Dragons in the hit TV show Dragons' Den. With Collagin Rose, we suggest the 'Rose & Shine' which combines the gin with splash of prosecco and a handful of pistachio nuts. CollaGin is distilled with America’s number one collagen brand which does not affect the taste, smell or appearance of the gin. Collagin Original is available nationwide in John Lewis with an RRP of £35. Collagin Rose (£36.99) and the Original minis (x3 for £20) can be purchased direct from their website: www.collagin.co.uk Collagin Original gin boasts eleven delicate botanicals infuse each velvety drop, in a bewitching concoction of warm, earthy liquorice and floral notes of orris root, balanced by the clean taste of juniper and the gentle tang of fresh oranges. Collagin Pink Rose is perfect for the sweeter palate, with a Turkish Delight-inspired finish. For the perfect serve, mix yourself a Collagin G&T with our official tonic water partner - Double Dutch - a touch of vanilla bitters, and a slice of chilled pink grapefruit. 48 | The Gentleman Magazine “Powered by , Security in Motion”
