We get asked this a lot - and we’re always happy to explain.

Our wedding favours aren’t mass-produced or bought in. Each bottle is handcrafted in small batches using real ingredients, time, and traditional methods.

Here’s what’s included in every £5.99 and £7.99 mini:

• Handmade sloe gin
  Made with whole hedgerow sloes that have been handpicked, slowly matured for depth and balance - not flavourings or syrups.

• Small-batch production
  We make sloe gin in limited quantities, not industrial vats. This keeps quality high, but it also means every batch takes time and care.

• Glass bottle & personalised label
  Each bottle is filled by hand and finished with a label designed especially for your wedding day or special occasion.

• Something guests actually enjoy
  Unlike many favours that are left behind, this is a keepsake your guests can sip, share, and remember.

At £5.99, our favours sit in the same price range as chocolates or candles - but offer something far more personal, memorable, and uniquely yours.

We also offer tiered pricing for larger weddings.

Shop miniatures are:

• Factory-made

• Machine-filled

• Filtered chemically

• Produced at huge scale

Ours are:

• Handcrafted

• Naturally matured

• Filtered slowly

• Made in limited quantities

They’re fundamentally different products.

A single 25ml spirit measure in a UK bar now costs £6–£7.

Your guests receive:

• A premium craft sloe gin

• A personalised bottle

• A wedding keepsake

Most couples find this replaces or outperforms traditional favours that are often left behind.

We also believe in our products beautiful taste, we have been making it personally for years.

Does your sloe gin contain any of the 14 major allergens?
Based on supplier information and product labelling, the gin we use does not contain any of the UK’s 14 major allergens. We also do not add any ingredients containing these allergens during production.

Is your sloe gin allergen-free?
We do not market our product as “allergen-free.” While no allergenic ingredients are added, we cannot guarantee the complete absence of allergens due to our production environment and reliance on supplier information.

Do you use nuts, gluten, or dairy in your recipe?
No, these ingredients are not used in our recipe.

Is there a risk of cross-contamination?
We take care to minimise cross-contamination; however, our product is made in a domestic kitchen, so we cannot completely guarantee that traces of allergens are absent.

Where can I find more detailed ingredient information?
You can contact us directly for the most up-to-date information, and we will be happy to assist.

This is a small, family-led business with our customers at the heart of everything we do. We aim to provide the very best experience for your special day or event. We believe in our product and take pride in offering a personal touch, ensuring you have the perfect drink for your occasion.

Collaborative, honest, and straightforward. We're here to guide the process, bring ideas to the table, and keep things moving.
