Shane Warne launches new range of mid-strength gin in a tin – and his dog Mason approves

Shane Warne has expanded his SevenZeroEight gin empire. 

On Thursday, the 51-year-old cricketing legend launched a new range of premixed alcohol drinks, named 23 Mid-Strength Gin and Slim Tonic.

The father-of-three shared the ‘exciting news’ with his followers on Instagram by uploading a series of pictures of the can on his Stories. 

‘So excited to share some amazing news with everyone about our award winning @708gin!! Even @mason.warne23 is pumped haha,’ he captioned a post to his account, alongside two red heart emojis. 

In the image, Shane is seen smiling as hit sits on a bench in a dusty pink cashmere sweater and sensible chinos. 

The sporting legend is proudly holding a can of 23 Mid-Strength Gin and Slim Tonic while his faithful dog Mason rests on his lap. 

This follows Shane defending his parenting skills in November after his 21-year-old son, Jackson, revealed he had only tried 10 types of food in his life while starring on SAS Australia. 

Insisting he and Jackson’s mother, Simone Callahan, did everything they could to make him try new things, the cricket legend told The Daily Telegraph: ‘As a parent, we did ask him to try this and that.

‘He just said no no no. My two daughters they eat everything — chicken, fish, steak and everything.’ 

Shane added his son was more or less ‘burgers, pasta and McDonalds once a day’.

‘He’s never been a big fruit lover, and it’s sort of captured the imagination of the public,’ he said.

Since starring on SAS Australia, Jackson has started to eat different food types to review on his Instagram – and it appears Shane is following suit with the pre-mix drink launch.
