Created exclusively for the racecourse, the turf-infused gin utilizes botanicals sources from the Lingfield Park estate, including Bramley apples, lavender, rosehip, lemon mint, and turf from the track. According to Kate Gregory, co-founder of The Gin Kitchen, “we’re thrilled with the results; we’ve never used turf before but loved the idea – we had no idea how good it would taste!” The new turf-infused gin will be served at bars on the racetrack and a bottle will be given to victorious owners alongside two Lingfield Park balloon gin glasses.
