Our collection of royally approved alcoholic drinks is rapidly growing thanks to the Queen adding yet another gin to her range, which is hardly surprising considering the fact it's known to be her tipple of choice.

In 2020 alone, Her Majesty launched two new gins, the first of which was a Buckingham Palace botanical blend that proved an instant hit with royal fans, selling out in just eight hours.

Owing to its success, it was followed by one made from the flowers from the garden at her Hillsborough Castle estate in Northern Ireland.

And now the palace has launched another must-have summer spirit, Buckingham Palace’s sloe gin, which is available to buy now via the Royal Collection shop for just £30 a bottle.

Made with hand-picked sloe berries that have been steeped in the classic Buckingham Palace gin, it's said to have an intense fruity flavour that’s perfect for summertime.

Profits from each purchase go towards the Royal Collection Trust, a charity that looks after the royal family’s art collections and oversees public openings of the Queen’s official residences.
