LEMON NAUGHTINESS Gin with lemon is a classic combination, and Ely Gin uses one whole fresh lemon in every bottle to give an intense lemon flavour, which is then tempered with just a touch of sugar. It contains 30% alcohol which is slightly lighter than a standard gin, so is more of a ‘juniper and lemon flavoured spirit drink’. The end result is a bold, zesty, refreshing and particularly more-ish gin. £23.50 | Ely Gin with lemon www.elygin.co.uk

A WAKE UP CALL Revive your skin with this triple-milled lemon and neroli soap from Bronnley. It is enriched with shea butter to moisturise and smooth your skin everyday. The vibrant and uplifting fragrance has zesty top notes of sparkling Sicilian lemon and mandarin that give way to a heart of lemon blossom and a soft base of woody tones. The three soaps come in a beautiful gift box.
