Hop Into Easter with Tack Room Distillery
Celebrate Spring with Artisan Spirits & Seasonal Cocktails with these 3 delicious cocktails this holiday.
Spring has officially sprung across the lush hills and winding lanes of the South West—and at Tack Room Distillery, we’re all about making the most of the season. Nestled on the Dorset, Wiltshire, and Somerset border, we’re bringing some handcrafted cheer to your Easter bank holiday with our small-batch, award-winning spirits, perfectly paired for spring gatherings, long lazy lunches, and garden soirees.
Easter is a time of joy, rebirth, and indulgence. And while the little ones go on egg hunts, we think the grown-ups deserve something just as fun—a zesty gin fizz, a cheeky vodka spritz, or even a Negroni with a seasonal twist. Whether you’re planning an Easter brunch, a family dinner, or just looking for a reason to crack open something special, we’ve got a bottle (or three) with your name on it.
Why Spirits Are the Perfect Easter Pairing
Let’s face it, Easter isn’t just about chocolate—although we do love a good creme egg. The long weekend has become one of the UK’s favourite excuses to unwind, gather with loved ones, and enjoy fantastic food and drink. From Prosecco breakfasts to roast lamb lunches and decadent desserts, it’s a feast-filled occasion—and every feast needs the perfect pour.
Enter Tack Room Distillery, where each bottle is copper-distilled with care and crafted to complement the flavours of the season. Think bright citrus notes, herbal backbones, and a silky-smooth finish that stands up to everything from sticky hot cross buns to springtime seafood.

Spirits & Easter Food: A Match Made in Heaven
Let’s talk pairings. Just like wine, premium spirits can elevate your food experience—especially when paired with the rich flavours of spring:
- Hot Cross Buns + Bison Grass Gin
The subtle hay-like and vanilla notes echo the spice and fruit of this Easter favourite. - Simnel Cake + Contemporary London Dry Gin
Our classic, zesty dry gin cuts beautifully through marzipan richness. - Roast Lamb with Herb Crust + Bison Grass Gin
Clean, crisp, and palate-cleansing—ideal for heavy meats and herby sides. - Mini Egg Cheesecake + Orange Vodka
Oh yes, we went there. Add a dash to the mix or serve with a chilled shot on the side for dessert done right.
Entertain Like a Pro This Easter Weekend
Here’s how to make your Easter weekend one to remember:
- Set Up a DIY Cocktail Bar
Use our pre-mixed martinis and Negroni so guests can serve themselves (and you can sit back with a spritz). - Create Garnish Stations
Think pastel-coloured fruit skewers, edible flowers, and rim sugars. - Offer Spring-Inspired Mocktails
Mix up some spirit-free drinks with herbs, juices, and soda so everyone can join in.
Easter Traditions Around the World (A Little Boozy Fun Fact)
Did you know that in Poland, Bison Grass Vodka is traditionally used during Easter to toast the season’s renewal? The herb that flavours it—Hierochloe odorata—is also called “Holy Grass” and is often used in ceremonial settings (Source).
Sound familiar? That’s because our own Bison Grass Gin was inspired by this Eastern European ritual, with a British twist that brings the fresh, earthy notes of the horse yard to your glass.
Fill Your Basket with Small-Batch Goodness
