Our/London's vodka, funnily enough, has Scandinavian roots – which makes sense when you see the sleek design of the bottles. Although it's made locally in London, it's part of a wider company called Our/Vodka, which has set up distilleries in 5 countries, each making a spirit that's born out of the character and ingredients of its local area. London's vodka is best enjoyed in a refreshing cocktail like this hibiscus collins.
