Katherine Jenkins has launched her own range of gin and it contains a 'secret ingredient' - Manuka honey. The singer discovered a little-known Welsh spirit in 2021, and realising it was being made six miles down the road from where she grew up in Neath, she was inspired to create her own range of premium spirits.
And on Thursday, March 30, Katherine, wearing a black cocktail dress, attended the official launch of the new Cygnet range in London. The 42-year-old posted a picture to her Instagram Stories that showed herself flanked by two friends sipping the gin. She captioned it: "Toasting the launch of our baby @cygnet gin."
She said: “Cygnet combines the finest local botanicals with pure Welsh water and being surrounded by the nature and beauty of the valleys, a whole lot of Hwyl! I’ve also included my ‘secret ingredient’ in Cygnet 22, Manuka honey, which I use to take care of my voice. All of this results in an ultra-premium gin that is so smooth you can sip it on its own. It was important for us to make something beautiful but sustainable and all products across the Cygnet range will come with a promise to walk the walk.”
