The African elephant is a gentle giant, the earth's largest land mammal and purhaps the most enduring symbol of nature's grace and fragility. Family and friendship bind the herd together embracing their own spirit of "Ubuntu". Africa is blessed to be a place they call home. It's said an elephant never forgets. We'll never forget our roots and heritage - we've worked hard to make sure you never forget the clean, crisp taste of our premium vodka.

"Ubuntu" - I am because we are.

Kingdom Recommends pedigree was built on the creation of our very special gins, patiently distilled and lovingly created, and the same is true of our premium vodka. Working with our partner distillery we have produced a spirit with an exceptional flavour, and as with all our spirits it's smooth to drink and can be enjoyed on its own over ice or with a mixer of your choice. Whether that's a tonic or a juice it's all about combining the perfect ingredients together to produce a beautifully balanced drink, giving pleasure in every sip. Vodka is normally distilled three times, but our premium vodka is distilled six times to ensure we get the cleaner, smoother finish and is then filtered over charcoal to enhance the flavour; we know what we're doing when it comes to making great spirits and you're going to love it too. Launched in 2021 and so far this year our premium vodka has won a silver award at the People's Choice Spirits Awards, another at the International Wine and Spirit Challenge and another one at the International Spirits Challenge. We are proud to have produced a premium vodka in the UK, we know it's a great product and to be recognised like this, especially on the international stage is a real vote of confidence.

Our vodka is made with a mixture of both wheat and barley grain and is 100% British grown, something else we are proud of. Our premium vodka is produced in small batches of only around 250 bottles so you are assured of quality every time we distil, no large volumes, just us and our little still making you the best premium vodka we can. Vodka has been around for decades and never lost its popularity because it is such a versatile spirit, it has a clean, smooth, creamy taste, often vodka has little or no taste but you will get a hint of citrus peel flavours from Kingdom's vodka. This means you can enjoy it in a variety of ways which has helped to maintain vodka's position in our drinks cabinets for many, many years, and while the market is full of options it's great to find one that blends that perfect taste with competition beating smoothness, just what you expect from Kingdom Recommends. Guidance is to keep your vodka is the freezer for at least three hours before you enjoy, start drinking it nice and cold and then sip it as it warms up and brings the flavours out. For the more adventurous types it's the perfect base for a cocktail, you can find a collection of recipes on this website or just stick to the classics, Bloody Mary or a Classic Martini. We are always interested in how you enjoy our products so please share the recipe for your favourite cocktail or preferred mixer with us via social media. We love to pair our spirits with a juice rather than tonic, whether that's pineapple, cranberry or apple you can make the perfect drink with a spirit as smooth as our premium vodka all you need is imagination.

Spring, a time for new beginnings and reminiscing Our Lychee Gin delivers a fond childhood memory, and even more fantastic an amazing Gin You won’t be disappointed, if you try over ice with a raspberry.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Our founder Kingdom grew up in South Africa and one of his happiest childhood memories was playing at Grandmas house with his sisters, racing round the garden and enjoying the sunshine.  One of their jobs was to pick the lychees from the trees so Grandma could take them to market, it’s this fond memory that started our search to create the perfect Lychee Gin to join our range of flavours.  The search for the most authentic flavour and taste hasn’t been easy but we think we have created a special gin with a fruity, unique taste that invokes all those memories of fun, sunshine, good times and family.

As with all our spirits from Kingdom Recommends this gin has been created with a really smooth finish which makes this Lychee Gin work well on its own over ice, just breathe in that amazing aroma and you will be transported, or it can be mixed with your favourite mixer for a refreshing long drink.  We recommend you mix our Lychee Gin with a Mediterranean tonic which complements the flavour beautifully.  And for the final touch crush a few fresh raspberries in your glass to really bring out the flavour of the lychees.  Our Lychee Gin has been patiently distilled and created in small batches of only around 250 bottles at a time.  We’re not a major producer, we believe that small batch distilling allows us to create flavours and tastes that are exactly what our customers want, and we know we’ve got a hit on our hands when we get face to face feedback from our customers about how great the flavour of our Lychee Gin is.  Many hours of distilling, sampling and development go into every gin that Kingdom Recommends produce, we like it that way, we know we are offering you a great product.  That’s what we stand for, quality products, created with you the customer in mind and getting customer feedback is the cornerstone of the way we do business, so please leave us a review on Trustpilot when you’ve sampled our Lychee Gin and let us know what you think.

We regularly publish cocktail recipes on our website and if you follow us on social media you’ll be one of the first to hear about all our new developments, meet the family and by checking out our events calendar you can see where you can find us while we are out and about travelling the country taking part in shows and events, we would love it if you could stop by and say hello.  Our award winning gins have already been recognised as winners at the Global Spirits Masters in 2021 and already in 2022 we have picked up awards at the IWSC, International Spirits Challenge and the People’s Choice Spirits Awards, recognition of the effort, time and expertise that has gone into making us a new business to watch.  Whilst we are thrilled to be recognised in this way, especially for a business launched in December 2020, it’s you, our customers who give us the best feedback and we love it, so what are you waiting for, join the tribe and enjoy the ride.

The Story

In May, 2000 an 18 year old, South African boy arrived in London, England. He was here to further his education, to study politics and history, so that he could better his life, pursue a career in government and support his family at home.

When he arrived his visit did not go to plan, the friends he thought he had to stay with could not be found and instead of being met by familiar faces, he found himself alone in an unknown city, with little money and no where to go. The money he had, had been borrowed from a family friend, he didn’t want to use it, waste it as he knew it needed to be repaid, so after a 13 hour flight, he got his bags and walked the streets of London.

3 weeks passed by, he phoned his mum, crying, he told her he was sorry, but he couldn’t go on, England was not the place he had heard it was, he was tired, the streets were lonely, he was lonely and he didn’t know where he belonged or what he could do, it was a dark time. His mum was worried, there were no mobile phones and she had no way of contacting him, it was 4 weeks before she heard from him again and this is what had happened during that time…..

After he ended the phone call a man approached the boy and asked him if he was ok, it was that moment of kindness that lasted for ever. After talking together, the boy explained he had nothing and all he wanted to do was provide and support his family. They spoke at length about the world and opportunity within it, then the man offered him a life line. He gave him the opportunity of work, he gave him a chance, a job and reminded him to believe in himself.

20 years on and a lot has changed, but the story of one mans belief in another shows how people continue to have faith in one another’s dream.

“Ubuntu” – I am because we are.

Ginger Gin - Kingdom’s Ginger Spiced Gin

# data[].attributes.body
Here is the award-wining, hand-crafted Kingdom's Ginger Gin, lovingly created to warm your cockles. This Navy Strength Ginger Spiced Gin pairs beautifully with apple, pear, orange, or mango juice.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
For those of us who prefer a spiced gin rather than fruity this flavour should be your first choice. Kingdom’s spiced gin, award winning and navy strength is best enjoyed over ice or mixed with cranberry juice.  Kingdom’s Ginger Spiced creates a drink that is subtle and refreshing and is so easy to drink we recommend you enjoy our spiced gin on its own over ice to really experience the flavours.  There’s a good reason it’s been the most award-winning gin in the Kingdom Recommends range and that’s because of the combination of flavour, strength and smoothness.  Traditionally spiced gin is served during the colder months but adding cranberry juice and serving in a tall glass, on a bed of ice, means this spiced gin is as much at home in the sunshine as it is in front of the fire on a cold winter night.  Add a bottle of this spiced gin to your basket and drink Kingdom’s spiced gin any way you enjoy it most, with friends, with ice, with cranberry juice, but most of all with pleasure.

Our Ginger Spiced Gin is the perfect drink for a cold winters’ day.  Yes, I know you think gin is a summer drink, with tonic over ice in the sunshine, but this gin will change your mind.  This is our navy strength spiced ginger gin with an ABV of 57.3%!  Wow, that’s strong and you’re right it is but like all of our drinks it’s still very, very smooth, so smooth you can sip it over ice if you prefer your drinks that way.  We created our Ginger Spiced Gin with the aromas of winter in mind, we added ginger for warmth and spice and as you take a sip you can really taste the spice.  If you want to put a mixer together with this gin we recommend you add a juice rather than a tonic, especially cranberry juice, serve as a long drink over ice in a tall glass and you have the perfect accompaniment to both enhance the ginger and create a refreshing drink.  If you’re not a lover of cranberry, try apple, especially warmed, mango, pear or orange, the list is endless and you can mix and match depending on the day.

We’re proud to say this gin won a Masters Medal in the Global Spirits Masters competition in 2021.  That’s the highest accolade they give, it means it’s one of the best of the best, and in our first year in business we were delighted to see that our ginger gin was acknowledged that way.  When you taste it you will see what all the fuss is about, it really is a tasty, spicy ginger gin made to be enjoyed during those cold winter months and as our label says – guaranteed to warm your cockles.  This product takes time to produce, we add the spice to the gin as it’s distilling which gives it a subtle flavour and we don’t rush the process.

We are a small batch spirits company, we don’t normally create more than 250 bottles each time we produce, that means we can maintain quality and consistency, making sure the flavour in our ginger gin is exactly as it ought to be and how we know you will enjoy it time after time.   Ginger Spiced Gin makes the most amazing cocktails, two of our favourites are the Yebo, mix 20ml ginger gin with 20ml Aperol and 20ml Dry Vermouth, serve over ice in a tumbler with a twist of orange, and the Spice Snapper, 40ml ginger gin, 100ml tomato juice, 10ml fresh lemon juice and Johannesburg sauce, sprinkle with salt and pepper and garnish with rosemary.  You’ll find both these recipes in our cocktail section on the website and we regularly add new ones to our social media and this page.

If you would like to try our gins come and see us as we move around the country attending shows, festivals and food events, you can find all the details of our programme on our website and it’s updated as new invitations come our way, at the shows we are always delighted to see customers faces as they try our Ginger Spiced Gin, first the smile – then the wow – and then they can’t leave the show without one, come along and see what all the fuss is about, take a bottle home and make sure you leave us a review on Trustpilot, that’s the way we can spread the word about our products and their quality.  As a young business feedback from our customers is what helps us to understand which products you love so we can grow providing you with the products you want to buy and enjoy and so far our ginger gin has proved to be a winner show after show.  Why not try our ginger gin for yourself, you can order through the website, it’s a simple and easy process and we’ll send you a bottle straightaway so you can enjoy a glass of this unique spicy gin just as soon as possible.  Make sure you taste it before you share, you wouldn’t want to miss out and as soon as everyone else tastes it you might be at the back of the queue.  Join the Kingdom Recommends tribe, be part of our family, let’s enjoy together.
