And Tonight We’re Going to Party Like It’s 1929

Christmas has always been a wonderful excuse to dress up, put on some music and make an evening feel special. 

This year, Trevethan Gin invites us to add a little 1920s glamour to the festivities with its Christmas Reserve Gin.

The Trevethan story began in 1929, when Norman Trevethan, a chauffeur at Cornwall’s historic Port Eliot Estate, began making his own gin. 

Nearly a century later, that family recipe still inspires the range. Founder and Master Distiller John Hall brought an engineer’s curiosity to the original formula, refining it through 31 versions over 18 months before creating Trevethan Original 1929 London Dry Gin.

That spirit of thoughtful improvement carries through to Christmas Reserve: a festive gin made for cocktail hour, celebrations and evenings when you fancy a little ceremony. It starts with Trevethan’s London Dry Gin, then adds a warming seasonal mix of botanicals.

Locally grown Norwegian spruce brings an evocative evergreen note, while orange, cinnamon and vanilla add citrus and cosy spice. Cranberries, raspberries and lime lift the richer flavours with a bright, fruity freshness. The result sounds perfectly suited to a winter evening: aromatic, warming and unmistakably Christmassy.

The bottle’s Art Deco inspiration gives it a glamorous presence on a drinks trolley, while its story reaches back to a time of jazz, elegant bars and flourishing cocktail culture. Trevethan’s approach is to honour its heritage while continuing to refine it, and the gin has earned international recognition, including IWSC Gold and Gold Outstanding awards.

There are plenty of ways to enjoy Christmas Reserve. For a simple festive G&T, fill a glass generously with ice, add premium tonic, then pour in the gin last. Finish with a twist of fresh orange peel.

For something warmer in flavour, serve it over ice with ginger ale, orange peel and a cinnamon stick. Or, if you’re hosting a party, mix equal parts Christmas Reserve, sweet vermouth and Campari over ice for a Midnight Negroni, finished with a generous twist of orange.

At 40% ABV, this 70cl bottle is made in Cornwall and has an RRP of £39. It’s available through the Trevethan Distillery online shop, here: https://www.trevethangin.com/shop

So gather your favourite people, choose a glass, and let the festive evening unfold. Here’s to Christmas, a touch of 1929 glamour, and a very merry cocktail hour.
