I Love MCR® has unveiled a pink Strawberry Jam Gin in partnership with Mancunian jam makers F. Duerr & Sons Ltd.

This ‘Proper Pink’ hand crafted Strawberry Jam Gin (38% ABV) is created in small batches in a custom made copper still (the Rolls-Royce of stills) at the City of Manchester Distillery in the heart of Manchester.

It is infused with juniper, angelica and orris botanicals and a bespoke Duerr’s jam.

The Duerr’s jam is a specially made, bespoke jam which has been created to perfectly complement the other ingredients and quantities in the still. It packs in 66% fruit content for a summery, strawberry burst of fruity flavour.

The result is a sweet and sticky, strawberry jam flavoured gin that is great paired with Double Dutch tonic or as part of a summer cocktail.

The official launch of the gin will be at held at Manchester’s King St. Festival on the 1st and 2nd June 2019. The I Love MCR® team will have their own mobile cocktail bar provided and hosted by experts Dovetail Drinks and stall (near El Gato Negro) with a mixologist serving gin cocktails made from the new product.

The gin will be available from the I Love MCR® online shop on 25th April 2019 for just £29.

Bars stocking the gin will be announced periodically on social media.

£1 of every bottle of I Love MCR® Strawberry Jam Gin sold will be donated to the We Love MCR Charity, I Love MCR®’s partner beneficiary charity, whose main aim is to improve the lives and life chances of the people of Manchester.

I Love MCR® Strawberry Jam Gin has been distilled and bottled exclusively for I Love MCR® at the City of Manchester Distillery, 21 Red Bank, Manchester M4 4HF.

Duerr’s of Wythenshawe are one of the oldest family-owned jam makers in England and have been making quality preserves to their family recipes since 1881.
