Masons Gin Privileged by Queen Elizabeth
This new drink is simply PERFECT for the Queen…
Throw away the old rule (before 5pm = tea, after 5pm = gin) with this genius tipple…

HEAD OF SOCIAL
August 13, 2018
For the average British person, there are two drinks that are simply perfect for any time of the day or night – either a good cup of tea, or a gin and tonic. No exceptions. But now, there’s a tipple that caters to both needs: Masons Yorkshire Gin which infuses our favourite flavours of tea into something you can enjoy after 5pm. Which we think ticks both of the Queen’s favourite boxes, as after all, she’s a huge fan of both drinks…
Why we love this: if it’s not time for gin, it’s ALWAYS time for tea
MORE: This is how you can have afternoon tea with the Queen
The gin is distilled in Yorkshire, a county already famous for their tea, and produced in small batches using a traditional distilling method. So if you already can’t get enough of Yorkshire tea, here’s a way carry to on drinking even after the afternoon tea window has closed.
Or, it could be a way to get away with drinking gin *before* 5pm, as you could kind-of pass it off as tea, although we can’t promise that will work when you suggest a round in the office.
And it’s definitely sometime we can imagine working well in Queen Elizabeth’s Christmas stocking as we know she’s a fan of both, so perhaps Duchess Meghan will be buying a bottle for the Buckingham Palace Secret Santa, which we really hope exists.
THE START OF YORKSHIRE GIN
Karl and Cathy always had an unwavering belief that, when it came to gin, doing things the right way without compromise would lead to the very best outcome. And thus, on World Gin Day in 2013, Yorkshire’s first gin, Masons of Yorkshire, was born.
BEYOND THE ORDINARY
Since the beginning, we set out to create a different gin, not just a different label. We know that how we make our gin is exceptional but putting it into words isn’t easy.
But here at Masons, we do things differently. It’s what sets us apart from the rest.
No gimmicks, no shortcuts and absolutely no compromises. Simply the purest and most delicious gin, made properly. Looking for a Gin Gift or Personalised Gin for a friend or loved one? See our divine Gin Gift selection.
MADE THE MASONS WAY
From every botanical that goes in the still, every drop of gin produced, every label applied and every phone call answered, this is the Masons Way. It’s the mantra we live by, and what makes us different from the rest.
Masons was born of quality, which is a value we will never change. That’s why every batch of Masons gin produced, we have a tasting panel who are responsible for ensuring the quality never waivers.
Gin, as it should be.
AWARD WINNING GIN
Since the beginning, we set out to create a different gin, not just a different label.
It might sound crazy, but we think a flavoured gin should still taste like gin. That’s why we create ours from botanicals, not syrupy stuff.
We really do believe not all gins are made equal. No gimmicks, no shortcuts and absolutely no compromises. Simply the purest and most delicious gin, made properly.
