Baboon's cup, an Iced gin cocktail with lime and cucumber slices in a textured glass, garnished with cucumber, set against a tropical outdoor background.

Fresh, zesty and a little wild, the Baboon’s Cup is gin with attitude.

This cocktail is a bold and refreshing gin cocktail that brings together citrus, green crunch and a savoury twist. Made with The Sentinel Gin, fresh lime wedges, cucumber slices and simple syrup, this drink balances sweetness with a punch of acidity, and just a pinch of salt and pepper for a wild edge.

The ingredients are muddled and shaken, then layered in a textured tumbler with ice and fruit for visual and flavour depth. It’s raw, it’s vibrant, and it’s got real personality.
