Try a Mermaid gin cocktail at the distillery’s own bar in Pondwell. It’s a good stop if you’d like to taste spirits made on the island.
Check the bar’s current hours and look up distillery experiences separately if you’d like to learn about the spirits. Visitor information.
If you like citrus-led drinks, the distillery’s Zest My Lemon recipe gives a sense of how it serves its spirits. Ask the bartender what’s on the current menu, or which Mermaid gin to try first.
