8 Really Good Sustainable Gins

Who knew you could get smashed and save the planet at the same time?

Sorry Ryan, your face is pretty but the eco credentials of your gin are ugly. Plus promoting flying? Not very eco of you at all...just think what our Queen Greta would say. Tut tut tut. For all of you eco warriors and gin enthusiasts who haven’t fallen for Ryan’s dreamy eyes and pretty average tasting gin (sorry not sorry), then I’ve got just the list for you.

‍

That’s right, I’ve spent hours trawling the internet (and the bars) for the best tasting gin that will only destroy your liver, not the planet. So, if you want to drink yourself to a climate positive future then this leaderboard of 11 gins will guide you to our top 8 really good gins. Sustainable G&T, anyone?

8 Top Rated Gins

Topping our gin list today is Tarquin's Cornish Dry Gin. They work closely with as many Cornish suppliers as possible and keep the local economy ticking over and use wind-powered renewable energy to fill each beautifully balanced glass bottle in small batches. If you're lucky enough to live on the English coast pop in to one of their stores to refill your bottle and keep your carbon footprint down to a minimum.

Penrhos is made using ‘wonky’ raspberries that would have otherwise gone straight in the bin, this sustainable gin aims to limit summer food waste in Hereford (where they’re from!) since farmers often struggle to shift their berries in time. How cute (and eco) is that?

‍

Cooper King is the first distillery to be powered by 100% renewable energy. Not only are they using windmills to power everything but they are also carbon negative. Let that sink in, carbon negative gin. Enough said.

‍

Winner of the 2020 sustainable drinks award (slay), Hyke gin is made with sustainably sourced surplus materials generated by other businesses. Its a rags to (sustainable) riches story. And we love it.

‍

From the distillery being partly built from recycled materials, to the closed loop system used to distil gin in a low waste manner, B Corp certified Brookie’s Gin is downright sustainable. Plus they were the winner of the 2020 sustainable distillery of the year (slay), makes sense.

‍

Mindfully handmade in Brighton, this gin has been produced with the planet in mind every step of the way. From the organic and vegan certified ingredients to the special water cooling system which allows water to be recycled rather than wasted, you can even get each bottle refilled if you're a Brighton local.

‍

Proudly B Corp'd, Sipsmith are committed to using the gin sipping business as a force for good. Super active within their local community in 2022 alone their team clocked up 439 hours of volunteering and they have made multiple charity donations. One which lead to the distribution 45,000 meals to Londoners in need.

Handcrafted with fresh botanicals in Tooting, London, each small batch carries a unique flavour giving it a natural authenticity. Each bottle isn't just unique because of it's flavour, every purchase contributes to Gorilla conservation, now that's a good reason to drink gin.
