With summer 2025 fast approaching and holiday bookings in full swing, consumers are dreaming of sun-drenched beaches, swaying palms and laid-back cocktails. For those looking to capture that holiday feeling before they even pack their suitcase, Hoxton Drinks offers two standout spirits that bring tropical flavour and sunshine to every glass: Hoxton Banana Rum and Hoxton Tropical Gin.

Two Bottles, Endless Holiday Vibes

Whether you’re heading to Spain, Greece, Italy or simply soaking up the sunshine in your own garden, Hoxton’s flavour-forward spirits deliver instant escape.

Hoxton Banana Rum: Island Life in a Bottle

Hoxton Banana Rum is crafted by macerating fresh and dried bananas for up to five weeks in a blend of Caribbean rums aged three to eight years. Made using rums from Barbados, Dominican Republic and Nicaragua, with a hint of pot-still rum for extra depth, it contains no artificial colours or flavourings. At 40% ABV, the rum opens with rich molasses and ripe banana aromas, then delivers a smooth, slightly dry finish with layers of tropical fruit. Enjoy it neat, over ice, or shaken into a Banana Daiquiri for a cocktail that tastes like a Caribbean getaway.

Hoxton Tropical Gin: The Original Holiday Spirit

Hoxton Tropical Gin was the brand’s groundbreaking first release and remains one of the most distinctive gins on the market. Combining creamy coconut, bright grapefruit, mellow juniper and warming spice, it delivers a flavour profile that instantly evokes beach bars, palm trees and golden sunsets. Serve with premium tonic and a wedge of grapefruit for an effortlessly refreshing summer drink.

“We wanted to bottle that feeling of an island holiday, no passport required,” says Gerry Calabrese. “Whether it’s our Banana Rum or Tropical Gin, both spirits are all natural, packed with bold flavour and designed to transport you somewhere sunny.”

Made for Summer 2025

As travellers lock in their summer holidays, Hoxton’s tropical spirits are ideal for bringing vacation energy to any occasion. From garden parties and rooftop gatherings to beach picnics and staycations, both expressions are versatile, premium and full of character.
