The Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust is holding the event, as a charity evening, where attendees will have the chance to to taste and judge for themselves.

Regional organiser for Scotland Rory Donaldson said: ‘Sloe gin? Raspberry vodka? Cherry brandy? If you have your own concoction, why not submit it for consideration?

‘If not, why not come along with your friends for a fun-filled night as we sample, savour and announce the winning tipples.’

Those who wish to enter should let the GWCT know by Monday, 22 October.

Rory continued: ‘You will then be required to submit a one litre bottle of your alcohol-based hip flask tipple, along with its recipe, by Sunday 4 November.

‘Tasting and judging will take place at the event on Thursday 8 November 2018, with the winner(s) being announced and prizes awarded on the night.’
