Summer in a Glass: The Best Cumbrian Cocktails for June

June on the Cumbrian coast has a character all of its own — long evenings, salt air, and the kind of light that makes everything look golden. We think your glass should match the moment.

This month we're leaning into the season with a handful of cocktails built around our small-batch spirits. Whether you're a gin drinker, a rum lover, or just after something cold and interesting, there's something here for you.

Coastal Spritz

Stanaways Citrus Gin, elderflower tonic, a squeeze of fresh lemon, ice. Simple, sharp, and exactly right for a warm evening.

Cumbrian Rum Sour

Stanaways Aged Rum, fresh lemon juice, a dash of sugar syrup, egg white. Shake hard, strain over ice. Rich, smooth, and full of character.

Spiced Sunset

Stanaways Spiced Rum, ginger beer, fresh lime, ice. Think dark and stormy — but with a Whitehaven twist.

Each of these starts with spirits made the way they should be — slow, deliberate, and with a care for the craft that you can taste.
