Bloomsburry Lemon Gin
Not available for shipping
Bloomsburry Lemon Gin is a British gin with a very direct sense of identity: lemon is placed right at the centre. At 45% alcohol, it has a firm gin foundation and a clear citrus-led direction, without needing a long technical story around it.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, we value bottles like this for their straightforward character. The name tells you what to expect in broad terms: a lemon gin from Great Britain with enough strength to give the style presence.
As these are the last bottles, Bloomsburry Lemon Gin also has a limited place in the current range. For someone looking specifically for a British lemon gin, that scarcity makes it worth noting.
The available details point to a lemon gin built on a solid 45% alcohol base. The lemon (…)Bloomsburry Orange Gin

Bloomsburry Orange Gin
Not available for shipping
Bloomsburry Orange Gin is a British gin with its direction stated plainly in the name. Orange is the defining idea here, supported by a firm 45% strength that gives the bottle a more pronounced presence than many lighter gin styles.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of gin we would point out to customers looking for a clear citrus-led choice rather than a completely neutral expression. Its British origin, orange focus and higher alcohol strength give it a straightforward but distinctive identity.
These are also the last bottles, so it is a gin that is gradually disappearing from the shelf. For anyone specifically looking for an orange gin, that makes this a bottle to consider while it is still available.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most frequently asked questions about gin
What is gin?
Gin is a spirit distilled from neutral alcohol, to which juniper and other botanicals (herbs, spices and fruits) are added. Juniper berry is mandatory: without it, it cannot officially be called gin.
What is the difference between gin and gin?
Although they are related, there is a distinct difference. Jenever is the traditional Dutch/Belgian variety, often malty and fuller in flavour. Gin is lighter, fresher and mostly more focused on herbs and citrus.
What types of gin are there?
- London Dry Gin: the most classic and sleek style, with no added sugars.
- Plymouth Gin: a protected designation of origin, a little softer and earthier.
- Old Tom Gin: slightly sweeter, often used in historic cocktails.
- New Western or Contemporary Gin: more modern style in which juniper is less dominant and other botanicals play the main role.
How strong is gin?
Usually between 37.5% and 47% alcohol, depending on brand and style.
Where does gin originally come from?
Its roots are in the Low Countries, with gin being its forerunner. British soldiers took the idea to England, where gin became a huge hype in the 18th century.
What are botanicals?
These are the herbs, spices and fruits that give gin its flavour. Besides juniper, you often see coriander seed, angelica root, citrus peel, cinnamon, cardamom, lavender and more.
What gin do you use for a gin tonic?
It depends on your taste. A classic London Dry goes well with a neutral tonic, while a more floral gin can shine with a spicy or fruity tonic. Garnish (lemon, cucumber, rosemary, ...) finishes it off.
Which gin is suitable for drinking pure?
More and more premium gins are smooth and complex enough to drink pure or with a little ice. New Western styles and special cask-aged gins are particularly interesting to taste this way.
What is the difference between gin and vodka?
Both are neutral distillates, but with gin, botanicals are co-distilled or added, giving the drink much more flavour and character.
What is pink gin?
This is gin that has a pink colour, usually due to the addition of red fruits (strawberry, raspberry, rhubarb, ...). Often also slightly sweeter in taste and popular in refreshing mixed drinks.
How do you use gin in cocktails?
Gin is hugely versatile and can be used for much more than just a gin & tonic. Well-known cocktails include the Negroni, Martini, Tom Collins, French 75 and Aviation.
The spicy base of gin makes it pair well with citrus, bitters and sparkling wine.
