It’s the perfect time of year to indulge in some navy strength gin cocktails. Sipsmith V.J.O.P., which clocks in at 57.7%, is a beautifully strong and juniper-forward spirit, and happens to be our favourite way to defrost. Happily, it’s also a natural in mixed drinks. We connected with six of London’s most acclaimed bartenders for their original V.J.O.P. recipes. From alternative Negronis to festive fizzes, let these most sippable of drinks carry you through the rest of the season.
