Best friends in Loughborough start gin company

Gin has gone from a drink for posh parents and old buffers to the hippest spirit in the UK.

There are now 820 UK gin distilleries in the UK - that's up from 190 in 2015 according to figures from the Office for National Statistics. Micro distilleries, those with less than 10 employees, now make up 730 of them.

Well - now there's one more, Driftwood Gin, and it's been started by two friends from Loughborough who are making it in one of their parents garages.

Ben Jackson has been to meet them.
