Citrusy

Citrusy gin keeps juniper in front and pushes bright peel and zest. The style grows out of classic London Dry where lemon and orange were always key, and it picks up Mediterranean and modern notes like grapefruit, bergamot and yuzu. Distillers layer flavour by macerating dried peel, using fresh peel distillates, or vapour infusing the aromatics for a clean lift. Expect a dry palate, lively citrus oils on the nose, and a crisp finish that is tonic ready. Citrusy gin shines in a G and T with a lemon or grapefruit twist, a Tom Collins, a Gimlet, or a dry Martini with a citrus zest.

Classic botanicals you can expect include juniper berries, lemon peel, sweet orange peel, bitter orange peel, grapefruit peel, bergamot, lime peel, yuzu, coriander seed, angelica root, orris root, cassia bark, cardamom.
