		<description><![CDATA[Having cut their teeth on gin, so to speak, Hope Distillery founders Lucy Beard and Leigh Lisk have successfully branched out into other artisanal liquors in recent years – they distill their own as well as producing products for other brands. Their newly branded Hope Small Batch Vodka, distilled from a grape base sourced in the Western Cape, is a delicate balance of pot-stilled and rectified spirit. A natural complement to the initial products in the range – the process of making vodka is not unlike that of making gin – the vodka neatly dovetails into their existing production line and long-term vision. “Gin starts life as vodka – essentially a high-strength neutral alcohol – so it made sense for us to make vodka, considering that we were already making gin,” says Lucy. Where it differs is that, for gin, you simply distill the vodka one more time together with the botanicals, one of which is the juniper berry, and this is what defines it as gin. Vodka can be produced using a variety of raw materials, but the Hope team initially decided to concentrate on a grape-based spirit for theirs. “We thought about releasing both a grain and a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Established by Lucy Beard and Leigh Lisk five years ago as a small-batch gin distillery – the first licence of its kind in Cape Town – Hope has grown into a force on the artisanal liquor scene, having mastered the craft of various spirits and grown its repertoire from gin makers to distillers for a multitude of brands. Beard, the resident gin and spirit maker, steers a team of stillmen in the production and development of various products, ranging from the in-house Hope label – whose products are distilled in an authentic copper pot still that is fondly known as Mad Mary – to contract distillation. “Every day, we set out to make the absolute best spirits that we can. We’re constantly experimenting and striving for excellence, mixing up new ideas and honing our recipes in our custom-built distillery. For us, it’s about creating something exceptional; something instilled with integrity and passion; something that will become the perfect accompaniment to people’s special moments,” says Beard. Along with the diversification in their service offering came a widening of the brand’s own range – from the initial Mediterranean, London and Salt River (now called the African Botanical) gins, the brand has ventured [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Summer is all about cocktails – and our spirit of choice is gin, the one to rule ’em all! Hope Distillery, renowned for its flavoursome boutique gins, has come up with a 100% fresh beverage for the season. Combining any of Hope’s gins with an easy-to-make blend of fruit, sweetly pungent basil leaves and ice, the Strawberry, Watermelon &#38; Basil Gin Slushy is the ultimate thirst-quencher. &#160; Strawberry, Watermelon &#38; Basil Gin Slushy Serves 1 60 ml Hope Gin (works well with all three Hope Gins: use Mediterranean if you want to up the basil notes; and African Botanical if you want to highlight the berries) 5 strawberries ½ cup watermelon 3 basil leaves 1 cup ice Blend all the ingredients together and pour into a glass. Garnish with edible flowers. Recipe designed by Simone Kruger (@yellowpapaya on Instagram) and shot by Michelle Parkin (@michelleparkinphotography). Hope Distillery (formerly Hope on Hopkins) is synonymous with quality and distinction.
