58 and CO Apple & Hibiscus Pink Gin & Tonic Gift Set

Too big, too small or just not pretty enough, some apples aren't destined for the supermarket shelves.

So James and his team bring them when they're doing their deliveries, and drop them off at our east London distillery.

Poised and ready to go, our distilling team quickly get to work hand coring each and every apple.

The cores aren't wasted and go to the worms in our on-site composter.

The sliced apples are then put into baskets and placed in the column of Rae, our 450l copper still.

Vapour distilling (rather than boiling in the pot) keeps the apple flavour light and fresh, rather than stewed and sticky sweet.

Once the liquid is ready, a natural pigment is added to give it it's gorgeous pink blush colour.

Then it's ready for bottling - our bottles are all made in the UK using recycled glass.

All of the water in these apples has been replaced with alcohol so they are now extremely boozy!

We pack them up and send them off to the Green Michelin-starred restaurant, Apricity, in Mayfair, who turn it into something delicious such as apple ketchup.
