Hoxton Gin, if it were to be personified in a film, would be that kid who was born into a family of car salesman. Great grandfather sold Fords; Grandpa sold Fords; and his father sold his first Mustang a month before he could drive one. Undeterred by the specter of the family business hanging over his head and ten tons of expectations, the kid decides he wants to be a banker, an artist, a poet, or whatever. Its not the what that matters so much as the fact that he does something with his family name (still renowned for their cars) that’s as far from the auto lot as possible. Ladies and Gentleman, meet Mr. Hoxton. Hoxton gin that is.

By the early 1980s, these industrial lofts and buildings came to be occupied by young artists as inexpensive live/work spaces, while exhibitions, raves and clubs occupied former office and retail space at the beginning of the 1990s. During this time Joshua Compston established his Factual Nonsense gallery on Charlotte Road in Shoreditch and organised art fetes in Hoxton Square. Their presence gradually drew other creative industries into the area, especially magazines, design firms, and dot-coms.Bold and perfumed on the nose. Hoxton Gin definitely smells like a coconut rum, with a strong, deeply overpowering coconut bouquet. Now I won’t ponder the coconut rum angle any further, because others have done it quite well already (spoiler: it doesn’t taste like rum). It smells smooth and inviting. Hardly a hint of juniper, and very little on the nose would give it away as being a gin.

I had Hoxton Gin in a Hoxton and Tonic and I came away somewhat surprised. The harsh edge was taken off by the tonic, and the quinine complemented and offered a counterpoint to the overpowering coconut notes at the front. All in all, it didn’t taste a ton like a gin and tonic. But you know what it? It wasn’t bad, it was actually rather good and quite refreshing. I came away somewhat impressed. There’s a lot of snark out there about Hoxton Gin, but its not categorically bad.

First off it was labelled CP Gin (the initials of Calabrese and then partner Andy Pearson) and marketed at bartenders. It didn’t do well. This time the recipe has been adjusted a bit, the location of the bar has taken centre stage and the emphasis is on the consumer. We think it’s going to do much better. Recipes
