Cygnet gin
[
edit
]
In June 2023, Jenkins launched the Cygnet 22 range of
gins
. Jenkins claimed that she became a gin drinker because, unlike other types of alcohol, gin was typically "cleaner" to drink for singers, without affecting their voice.
[44]
[45]
The name "cygnet" came from the term of a
baby swan
, an animal symbolic of her native Swansea. The number "22" refers to the age Jenkins was when she was offered the largest recording deal in classical music history.
[44]
She describes the brand as an "eco-friendly" as the bottles are 100% plastic-free, with a 100 percent biodegradable seal made from wood pulp in Wales. The Cygnet 22 bottle also weighs up to 50 percent less than the average spirits bottle meaning it requires less raw materials to produce and less energy to transport.
[45]
On 16 March 2024, Jenkins made a pitch-side appearance before the
Wales
v
Italy
Six Nations Championship
match
to launch a
canned
Cygnet
gin & tonic
drink.
