This week we raise a glass to World Gin Day with a guest who lives and breathes the category: Diana Gettinger, National Brand Ambassador for Cygnet Gin. Together, Dan and Diana dive into the current state of gin, exploring how the spirit has evolved from its London Dry roots into one of the most dynamic and innovative categories in the world of booze. Is the gin boom still booming? What trends are shaping the future? And why does gin remain the bartender's favorite spirit?

Naturally, the conversation also turns to Cygnet, the ultra-premium Welsh gin brand founded by internationally acclaimed singer Katherine Jenkins. Dan and Diana discuss what sets Cygnet apart in an increasingly crowded spirits landscape, the challenges and opportunities facing gin in 2026, and why Wales has quietly become one of the most exciting places in the spirits world. They also swap stories from behind the bar, debate the perfect gin and tonic, and offer a few suggestions for celebrating World Gin Day properly.

Whether you're a lifelong gin devotee, a curious cocktail enthusiast, or someone who still thinks gin tastes like a Christmas tree, this episode might just change your mind. Pour yourself a G&T, settle in, and join us for a spirited celebration of one of the world's great distillates.
