Ever wanted to create a gin exactly to your own tastes? Well now's your chance...!

Sling Shot Gin School at Dublin’s Churchtown Stores might not be opening its doors again just yet, but if you're growing tired of walks in the park and working on the garden, here's something more fun to do at the weekend.

They've just launched their Sling Shot Gin School 'At Home' Kit, which contains everything you need to create your own unique 350ml bottle of gin (enough for 10 G&Ts). It would also make a cute present to send to anyone who might be in need of cheering up right now.

Each kit includes: a 250ml bottle of classic gin botanical spirit, a 50ml bottle of citrus spirit, as well as six 10ml bottles of seasonal distillates.

This first batch features distillates of elderflower, rhubarb, strawberry, spruce tips, rosemary and black pepper, all of which are in season.

There are also full instructions on how to blend your very own flavoured gin.

As a bonus, they've also included miniatures of their award-winning Sling Shot Distilled Irish Gin and Zesty Citrus Vodka, and some of their own hand sanitiser to keep you safe.

Peter Clancy, CEO of Lough Ree Distillery, said: “We opened Dublin’s first and only gin school late last year and like many other venues we closed in mid-March. At this stage, everyone has made the sourdough bread and done the Zoom quizzes.

"This is an opportunity for a bit of fun and something different for people to try out at the weekend.

"By partaking in this, customers are creating something unique for themselves and also supporting a small Irish-owned business.”

The Sling Shot Gin School 'At Home' Kit costs €49, including free delivery throughout the island of Ireland.
