I review gin for a living and here are my 5 Amazon Prime Day gin deals
There are a number of great gin deals available right now - here's what I recommend.
There is nothing better than a gin and tonic on a summer's day, which is why I always stock up on gin when it comes to Amazon Prime Day.
I have been lucky enough to review gin for a number of years now, adding many an update to ShortList's best gin guide. My years of reviewing have coincided with a time when the spirit has gone through a popularity boom.
As well as the popularity of gin going up, so has the selection. The proliferation of small-batch gin producers means that there is more choice than ever before - which also makes it harder to know which are the best gin picks.
I have gone through the thousands of Amazon Prime Day gin deals and I have selected 5 which I think are not only bargains but also show off the wide range gin has to offer.
Whichever gin brand you choose, please enjoy responsibly...
1. A celebrity-endorsed gin that's actually decent...
When he isn't playing Deadpool or heading up a Wrexham FC, Ryan Reynolds is also the owner of one of the most popular gins around. Aviation gin offers both a floral and earthy hit and works well with a decent tonic.
2. A Hendrick's special edition that's still very special...

You probably know Hendrick's, but what is Lunar? It's a limited release with a distinctive floral and "warm" flavour.
3. A Japan-infused gin...
A unique blend of six Japanese-based botanicals, Roku Suntory captures the scent of cherry blossoms and green tea with hints of pepper for a fresh and distinctive taste.
4. A gin perfect for a martini...
This is a really complex gin that is our favourite for making martinis with - there's a robustness with this one that we love.
5. A gin, with added flavour..
Gin and rhubarb is a beautiful combination, and here the tart tang is joined by a little fire thanks to extra ginger flavours. It makes for a fresh take on a G+T.

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
