We love a creepy cocktail here at Craft Gin Club, which is why we leapt at the chance to partner with Pennington's Spirits and Liqueurs — the terrifyingly talented team behind our January 2021 Gin of the Month, Lakeland Moon Snowfell Gin — on five Halloween cocktail bundles featuring their delicious liqueurs for our October Family of Distillers hero campaign.

Our members absolutely loved catching up with the Pennington's team, and their response to the spooky sips has been so strong it's scary! Supported by content across Craft Gin Club's magazine, blog and social channels, the Pennington's Halloween cocktail bundles saw strong sales across the month.

"This campaign had a really strong performance," says Emily Roe, Head of Online Trading at Craft Gin Club. "In fact, it's looking to be one of the best performing Family of Distillers campaigns ever. This success was a real effort. From the amazing people Pennington's Spirits and Liqueurs to our in-house content team, everyone came together to craft an incredible campaign." 

This Halloween, treat yourself to one of the two most popular cocktails from the campaign! You can find all five recipes here.
