After much taste testing, feedback, fun and frivolity, Team Little Bird Gin and friends hit upon the recipe for a new London Dry Gin. Pink grapefruit, sweet orange peel and Ivory Coast ginger, plus seven more botanicals all contribute to the smooth citrusy taste.

Those three little words on your bottle tell you that the botanicals are natural and distilled along with the spirit to give a purer and high quality spirit. London Dry Gin means no artificial flavourings or colourings are allowed in there before or after distillation.

While that term London Dry is a nod to the style of your gin, strangely, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s actually made in London too. But rest assured, Little Bird is, of course, south London born and bred.

Our pin up Miss Ginger was inspired by the work of artist Alberto Vargas who in the 1940s began painting pin-up girls, known as ‘Varga Girls’, for Esquire Magazine. Pin-ups were used as a form of aircraft graffiti and these colourful and sexy paintings were draped over the nose and sides of airplanes. Often referred to as nose-art, they were painted to inspire and motivate, whilst also bringing good luck. Miss Ginger was illustrated for the same reasons, bringing her unique nostalgic style to our #sexylittlegin.
