It is triple-distilled for delicate smoothness before being infused with real strawberries and other red fruits. The result is a sweet, juicy gin which is perfect for the summer. It makes an amazingly fruity G&T when mixed with quality tonic water and garnished with a fresh strawberry and a little sprig of mint. It has a delicate pink colour with rich aromas of strawberries on the nose, and the flavours balance between sweetness and acidity with bold fruity notes. A large number of Hindus visit Mombasa to pray at a number of naturally formed Lingam that have formed in the Nyali beach Gombeshwar Caves. According to local folklore, the cave-temple was found a long time ago when a group of local herders were puzzled after they noticed that one of their cows regularly released all of her milk at a specific yet random spot on the hills. They are then said to have approached some Hindu families living in the area to ask if they had any idea behind the strange behaviour by the cow. The group then teamed up, made their way to the spot and started digging. That is how they ended up stumbling into the cave where they found a 'Shiva Lingam' – an abstract representation of the Hindu God Lord Shiva, whose vehicle is Nandi (mythology). Hindus worship Lord Shiva by offering milk to a Lingam. [54] Sister Cities". durban.gov.za. eThekwini Municipality. Archived from the original on 9 October 2019 . Retrieved 3 July 2020.

[33] Mombasa Gin Club Colonel’s Reserve is a special and limited edition in homage to this lineage of adventurers who were able to take the British Victorian Empire to its most glorious period. It begins in the end of the XIX Century, in the heart of Victorian times. The mighty and famous British Empire had been immersed in a colonial struggle throughout Africa for decades. The Empire already dominated sea communications and commercial routes, as well as most of the merchandise traffic between the Orient and the West. The founding of Mombasa is associated with two rulers: Mwana Mkisi and Shehe Mvita. According to legend, Mwana Mkisi is the original ancestor of Mombasa's oldest lineages within Thenashara Taifa (or Twelve Nations). Families associated with the Twelve Nations are still considered the original inhabitants of the city. Mwana Mkisi was a queen from the pre-Islamic era, who founded Kongowea, the original urban settlement on Mombasa Island. In 1585, a military expedition of the Ottoman Empire, led by Emir 'Ali Bey, successfully captured Mombasa, and other coastal cities in Southeast Africa from the Portuguese.

At Mombasa, the Zimba slaughtered the Muslim inhabitants, but they were halted at Malindi by the Bantu-speaking Segeju and went home. This stimulated the Portuguese to take over Mombasa a third time in 1589, and four years later they built Fort Jesus to administer the region. Between Lake Malawi and the Zambezi mouth, Kalonga Mzura made an alliance with the Portuguese in 1608 and fielded 4,000 warriors to help defeat their rival Zimba, who were led by chief Lundi.In the Warren Zevon song " Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner", Mombasa is one of the key locales related to the protagonist's quest.

Terroir, typically a term associated with wine, has found relevance in the craft gin scene. English distillers have begun to emphasise the importance of locality and sourcing, with botanicals often foraged from the surrounding countryside, adding a unique dimension to the gin. This local character allows for gins that reflect the very essence of the English landscape - from the rolling hills of the Cotswolds to the rugged coastlines of Cornwall. The beauty of English gin lies in its botanicals - the herbs, spices, fruits, and flowers that are selected and infused to create each gin's unique flavour profile. While juniper is the cornerstone, other botanicals like coriander, angelica root, citrus peels, and cardamom are also commonly used. Each distillery has its own closely guarded recipe and method, contributing to the spirit’s vast spectrum of flavours. Tubei, George (3 July 2018).
