4 Gorgeous Gin Cocktails Using Our Award-Winning Copas Small Batch Rosemary Gin

Posted by Copas Farm Shop on 20th Apr 2026

At Copas Farm Shop, we’ve been rearing some of Britain’s finest turkeys on our Berkshire farm in Cookham since 1957. Over that time, we’ve developed a real appreciation for the land we farm, the changing seasons, and the botanicals that grow all around us. It was that connection, along with a touch of curiosity, that led us to create our own small batch gin.

We’re pleased to offer our Copas Small Batch Rosemary Gin, available year-round. This award-winning gin is produced in collaboration with Griffiths Brothers in Penn, and is something we are genuinely proud to share.

About our Copas Small Batch Rosemary Gin

The rosemary used in our gin is grown here on the farm. It’s the same rosemary we use alongside our Christmas turkeys each year, so it felt natural to capture that flavour and character in a spirit of its own.

Bottled at 42% vol in a 75cl bottle, this is a full-bodied gin with real depth and complexity. It works beautifully in a classic gin and tonic, but also holds its own in a range of cocktails.

Botanicals include: rosemary, juniper, coriander, angelica, grapefruit, lemon, liquorice and grains of paradise.

Due to the natural oils in the rosemary, the gin may appear slightly cloudy in the bottle. This is completely normal. Once tonic is added, it clears beautifully in the glass.

Serving Suggestions

While this gin is excellent served simply with tonic, we’ve created a selection of cocktails that bring out its herbal and citrus character. Whether you’re entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening at home, we hope you find a favourite among them.
