My personal fave is Isle of Harris gin but I don't think that's 'punable' in this context.

I'm sure there are loads more options for our wits given the sheer range of gin in an average Tescoburys.

Not your average LIDL strength. 32000L on board
The M6 in Cheshire was shut after the highly-flammable 'concentrated gin' covered the carriageway .

I bet the gin lorry driver is feeling a bit of a lemon.

Ophir's sake, the driver made a right Hendriks of that, but Saphire's I know the road is open again.

The word is he was adjusting his radio and phone when the crash occurred. Obviously too much ICE.
