Gin win
We enjoyed the story of Brotton woman Rachael Conisby’s gin being named among the best in the world at a London awards ceremony.
Rachael – nicknamed Shorty – won a Bronze Award at the World Gin Awards where her own secret recipe saw her mingling with representatives from the globe’s top companies.
Way to go, Rachael! There’s more from Teesside Live below.
