Hilda Ogden’s Famous Ducks Fly Back for Christmas – In Gin Form!
Just in time for Christmas, the iconic ducks from Hilda Ogden’s famous “muriel” at Number 13 Coronation Street have made a cheeky comeback. But this time, they’re not waddling down the street – they’re gracing the bottle of the show’s brand-new premium gin!
Corrie Collaboration: Manchester Distillers Join the Party
Manchester’s No. 186 distillers have teamed up with Coronation Street to craft a unique “Old Tom” style gin with a twist – subtle notes of Eccles cake. That’s right, the classic Northern delicacy is now part of your G&T!
Lynsey Postlethwaite of No. 186 said: “It’s been a labour of love creating this beautiful, unique gin for Corrie. We know Hilda liked a port and lemon in the Rovers, but we’re sure if it was around back then she’d have ordered a Wonky Duck and tonic. The hints of honey and warm currants would be right up her street.”

A gin collector’s dream and the perfect Christmas present, we can’t wait to see our beautiful blue bottles on the shelf.”
