The original and the biggest gin-themed social media challenge is back for its eighth year running! In 2019, #GinADayMay’s inaugural year, in excess of 4,000 images were posted on Instagram using the #GinADayMay hashtag, averaging at approximately 135 posts a day. With consistent global engagement ever since, there are now over 29,000 tagged posts on Instagram and it would be amazing to break the 30k barrier in 2026.

That’s not to say there’s not still a decent dose of booze news and new releases though, so read on to catch up on what you might have missed if you’ve also been taking it easy this month.

July has been hot and busy and I can’t believe it’s nearly over already. I’ve been driving my self half crazy trying to hit all my deadlines before I go on holiday in early August, but I’ve just about found time to write this month’s blog too (or perhaps I’m just procrastinating… who knows?!). Hope you enjoy it!
