Hot cross bun beer is the new spirt of Easter

What do you get when you take gin and infuse it with the traditional flavours of Easter?

Hot cross bun gin, naturally, and it’s strictly for adults.

Gin Tales is the North London company behind Hot Cross Bun Gin, a London dry gin infused with fresh citrus fruits, sultanas, cinnamon and nutmeg.

According to Gin Tales, the festive concoction is made using fresh natural ingredients with no “chemical nasties”.

Hot Cross Bun Gin isn’t the only Easter treat to get an adults-only makeover (gin and tonic Easter eggs, anyone?). If you’re not a fan of gin, you might fancy a Prosecco Easter egg instead.

Unfortunately Gin Tales is only available for shipping within the UK, but you can still get Easter in a glass with hot cross bun beer by Murray’s Brewing Company in Australia.

Stickler for tradition? You can always whip up a batch of your own hot cross buns. After all, some things are best kept simple.
