DRINK: The King of Soho London Dry Gin

<p>It’s time to kneel before the new King about town and let his mixed botanicals reign upon you. The King of Soho is certainly a gin you’ll be wanting to follow for many years to come.</p> <p>By Graham Davies | 26th June 2014</p><p></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://www.thegayuk.com/communities/8/004/009/928/388/images/4611315883.jpg" width="460" height="866" alt="The King of Soho" title="The King of Soho"/></p> <p></p><p>The distinguished dark turquoise bottle pictured with a Soho figure in crushed red velvet jacket, top hat and foxes tail will nestle between any well stocked drinks shelf at home next to the absinthe and other bottles that are reserved for the top shelf. </p><p></p><p>With twelve botanicals traditionally mixed this is a premium gin that not only warms the mouth with gentle spices but also leaves a sweet aftertaste with a tantalising depth of citric fruits. </p><p></p><p>The King of Soho team will be out and about at Pride London this weekend handing out goodies. Do also take time to check out their display at Amathus Soho.</p><p></p><p>If you’re not around London this weekend then why not try making your own Soho Sling cocktails at home with friends and treat everyone like royalty.</p><p></p><p>Soho Sling:</p><p></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://www.thegayuk.com/communities/8/004/009/928/388/images/4611315886.jpg" width="460" height="654" alt="Soho Sling " title="Soho Sling "/></p> <p></p><p>Ingredients:</p><p>50ml King of Soho Gin</p><p>15ml Lime Juice</p><p>
