A Perfect Day with Good Gin & Great Sport
There are few better ways to spend a summer’s day than watching polo with a Gin Chin Classic Dry Gin & tonic in hand. Today, we headed to Cowdray Park Polo Club in West Sussex, soaking up the sun, the atmosphere, and, of course, a few good G&Ts.
This is what our tumblers were made for – blue skies, green fields, and the sound of hooves thundering past as we settled in for a day at Cowdray Park Polo Club. Whether you know the rules inside out or are mostly there for the atmosphere, it’s hard not to get caught up in the energy of the game.
A Day for Gin & Polo
The setting couldn’t have been more perfect – rolling green fields, the sound of hooves on the pitch, and a crowd enjoying the best of British summer. If you’ve never been to a polo match before, it’s like nothing else. It’s fast-paced, intense, and skillful, but also incredibly social, making it the ideal event to sip on something refreshing while taking it all in.
And that’s exactly what we did. With our artisan hand-crafted gin poured over ice in our Gin Chin insulated tumblers, we enjoyed every chukka in true style. Whether it was the crisp, juniper-forward notes of our Classic Dry Gin or the fruitier twist of our Small Batch Rhubarb & Raspberry Gin, both made the perfect pairing for a day in the sun.
There’s something about gin and polo that just works. Maybe it’s the tradition – both have a long history in British culture. Maybe it’s the fact that a well-mixed G&T is just the thing for an elegant outdoor event. Or maybe it’s just that, when you’ve got a glass in one hand and a match to watch, life feels pretty good.
We weren’t here to work this time – just to enjoy the day, take in the atmosphere, and sip a few well-earned gin and tonics. And of course, we couldn’t help but take notes for future events. The mix of tradition and celebration is exactly what Gin Chin is about, so who knows? You might just see us setting up shop at a polo match in the future.
Where Next for Gin Chin?
We’ve got some exciting things coming up, from events to new gin batches, and we can’t wait to bring our small-batch gin to even more people across the UK.
In the meantime, if you fancy bringing a little bit of polo-day luxury to your own home, you can buy Gin Chin Classic Dry Gin and Rhubarb & Raspberry Gin online and mix up your own perfect serve. And don’t forget to grab a Gin Chin insulated tumbler – because whether you’re at the polo or just lounging in the garden, your gin deserves to stay perfectly chilled.
Until next time, cheers!
