Building on your gins being sold and places like Well Kneaded next door who make their own tonic to pair with it. Community seems to be a really big aspect of the Canteens and Bloody Bens, would you like to see future collaborations with local businesses? And for some, it’s taking a moment after a long day at work, or putting the kids to bed, to pour yourself a delicious drink and to savour the day.

Bloody Bens’ bar has an impressive collection of other gins too, in addition to their own creations. Also, our shelf life is much longer, a spicy tomato juice will only last a couple of days once opened. The label is pretty unique too, it represents those amazing London sunsets you get and celebrating British summers. You can watch Olly making an extra spicy Bloody Mary here, below is a little preview - note, you don't need to make em quite so spicy if you don't like the heat.

I wanted to open another venue in South West London and Earlsfield felt like an area everyone was starting to move to. Just add 25ml of Mix to Tomato Juice for a delicious Virgin Mary and then add Gin/Vodka for the perfect Bloody Mary.

The Bloody Bens Beach and Tote Bag is a top piece of Swag / Merch and perfect for carrying towels, lotion, and plenty of Gin to the Park or the Beach. bottles from around the world now adorn the bar with gins ranging from the local Graveney Gin (Tooting) and Renegade Gin (Battersea), to the likes of Scapegrace (New Zealand) and Four Pillars (Australia). It has also been home to Ben’s Canteen since 2014, which has for the past years been our go-to for brunch, countless dinners with friends and hosting big birthday parties. For a long time we've been serious fans of Black Cow Vodka, a Vodka made from Milk and Cheese Making!This is the ingredient to make perfect Bloody Marys, every time, without needing Cocktail Bar training. I love that South West London has gin companies, makes a change from everything like this being so East London centric. As well as the Bloody Mary mix which launched the Bloody Bens name in 2017, they now produce two gins as well, both distilled on site in Earlsfield. Just the right amount of spice, although in my opinion, the spicier the better, so you can always add more.

Pink gins are hugely popular right now, what do you think makes your SW19 release stand out from the crowd? A traditional Juniper forward London Dry Gin with notes of Orange and Honey to give it a deliciously distinctive taste and to help make cracking Negronis. The Bloody Mary Spice Mix is Vegan, Gluten Free and Non-Alcoholic and lasts at least 3 months in the fridge once opened. Find us on Nightingale Lane, downstairs at The Wine Twit, a short walk from Clapham and Wandsworth Common and a 10 min drive from our original location in Earlsfield. It can also be used in Food, make the best Shakshuka, use it as an awesome Marinade for BBQ Chicken or make an amazing Bloody Mary Ketchup for your Burgers.It’s also where I fell in love with gin, in those lovely big coppa glasses with exciting garnishes – so much better than the serves you’d get back in London in those days. While lots of other pink gins go down the rhubarb, pink grapefruit, raspberry or rose route it’s refreshing to see someone doing something different in a very saturated market. So, we're absolutely delighted to be partnering up with them to help you make even better Bloody Marys. Our signature gin is a London Dry but it’s got a distinctive honey and orange taste that sets it apart from countless gins with more “traditional” flavour profiles.

These ambitions were fuelled by living in London, frequently inspired by the amazing entrepreneurial spirit of the City. Also, it’s tough times for restaurants at the moment, so we wanted to create another aspect to our business and another reason for people to be talking about us.And not having booze in it means you can experiment, for example Gin is a bloody delicious alternative to using Vodka.
