Ah come on it'd be a bit of fun
I'd either buy it or guaranteed someone would buy it for me as a novelty gift. Lots of people know I like gin and I like Mumsnet
My suggestions for a range of different flavours
AIBU
LTB
STBXH (rather bitter)

I like Naice Gin and Vipers too

You can't call it mothers ruin - there is a small distillery near to me already using that brand name

Balonz

Bah! Wish I'd read the comments first - I put Mother's Ruin as well!

The packaging could have the mumsnet gin emoji on it.

The thing is you’ve a massive target market here, and all you need to say is we developed this gin with x and it’s x to tap into that market,

Calling it something related to the site though would turn it into a novelty item, just as it would if it was related to face book, or trip advisor, for repeat purchases it needs to be something that’s basically not tacky,. So there could be lots of good names that are linked but not immediately identifiable, for example “Justines Juniper” or “Viper Valley” Or whatever..

A brand entitled mothers ruin or aibu would turn it into a novelty item for me.

I really dislike this idea. It’s in poor taste (excuse the pun) and completely naff.

There needs to be a selection with different names, in addition to those above

PPs saying they 'wouldn't offer MN gin to guests' - you share your gin? Baffling. As the late, great Paul Ritter said in fantastic fatherly style in FND, 'Don't waste your mother's gin. It's for when she's depressed.'

I've done the survey but really don't 'get' the MN gin idea. Just don't see the connection, sorry!

My name suggestion was Snap and Fart.

Am I drinking gin?

The fact you have to ask makes me laugh!

And that nails it, calling it mumsnet gin makes it a novelty. For making it a serious proposition it needs to be named something else. Something people will be happy to pick up whenhaving guests over, or whenever.

It’s like if mark zuckerburg decided to go into gin, calling it Facebook gin would be a mistake he’d be unlikely to make. They don’t even call their other products anything to do with Facebook, it’s WhatsApp, Instagram etc.

The demographic is here for gin, the platform to sell it, but the branding is important.

For the record I’d also not buy anything called mothers ruin unless for a joke.

All done...I'd be interested to see with what angle the gin would take. Will it be flavoured?

I'd definitely try it.

Sometimes I have a gin and tonic or two at the bar, but this is rare.

@ImNotThatPathetic

Why would Mumsnet a website market to (but not exclusively for), mothers, make a product that is traditionally known as Mother's Ruin?

That's was my suggested name for a Mumsnet gin....

Mine too. 🍸🤣

There’s a gin called mothers ruin already.

@FreezerBird And mine!

What about Sistine Chapel Gin or does the Pope have the dibs on that?

I am definitely interested in being on the tasting panel!!

It can only be

LTB

Mine was Ducks in a Row

@YesIDoLoveCrisps

The packaging could have the mumsnet gin emoji on it.

Gordon's would probably have a bit of a problem with that.
