Brighton Gin Pavilion Strength is the original small-batch craft gin from the city’s pioneering seaside distillery. Hand-made using pure wheat spirit, juniper, fresh citrus, local coriander seed and milk thistle, it reflects Brighton’s vibrant and independent spirit. Vegan and gluten free, it delivers a crisp, refreshing character that shines in a classic G&T or refined cocktail.
Tasting Notes & Experience
Clear and bright in the glass. On the nose, fresh orange and juniper rise with a touch of spice. The palate is smooth and approachable, led by zesty lime and orange peel, balanced by warm coriander and subtle herbal tones. A gentle, citrus-led finish lingers with refreshing clarity.

Brighton Gin’s citrus-forward and softly spiced character makes it wonderfully versatile. A Brighton Gin & Tonic with a slice of orange highlights its sunny personality, while a Sussex Negroni or Brighton 75 lends a touch of seaside elegance. Creative cocktails such as the Raspberry Clover Club or Vegan Brighton Sour showcase its playful edge, while a classic Gimlet or Last Word underline its crisp, citrus backbone.
Craftsmanship & Story
Founded in 2012 by a small team of friends, Brighton Gin was created to embody the spirit of the city — open-minded, fun-loving, and fiercely independent. Distilled by hand in small batches, every bottle is washed, filled, labelled, and waxed by hand. Sustainability is at its core, with vegan certification, locally sourced botanicals, recycled packaging, and even deliveries by bicycle across Brighton & Hove.
