Cover your mince pies with this gin-flavoured cream this Christmas
Gin-based cream now exists to make your Christmas pud even tastier.
Regardless of whether you’re a fan of the rounded, fruit-filled pudding or not, you’ll be too tipsy to care with Slingsby’s latest dessert addition.
The Harrogate-based gin brand has teamed up with Morrisons to launch a limited edition pouring cream, that’s made with their award-winning spirit.
Yep, you can now swallow gin without the bitter taste of tonic followed behind it, and we can’t wait to down it,
The extra-thick cream is flavoured with 24 botanicals found in Slingsby’s gin, which includes rosemary, thyme, rhubarb and primrose, and has been designed as a brandy cream alternative to be served with either Christmas pudding or a mince pie.
We reckon it’d also make a nice addition to a creamy hot chocolate on a cold winter’s eve.
Mike Carthy, from Slingsby producer Spirit of Harrogate, said the cream was created to add a ‘festive gin twist to a classic ingredient’ – adding that it was something Slingsby was ‘very excited about experimenting with’.

He said: ‘We hope people enjoy it just as much as we do with their friends and families over the Christmas period.’
As mentioned above, the gin-filled cream is a limited edition product, and given that we’re nearing December, you should probably head over to your local Morrisons ASAP to get your hands on a tub.
You can find them for £2.50 at all Morrisons stores nationwide.
Race you down the aisle.
