Seasonal Fresh Blood Orange Gin

70cl | 37.5% ABV

“Wouldn’t it be great if we could create a gin that was exactly like biting into a ripe blood orange?”

- Famous last words from Zane to Adam, Jan 2024.

Born from a frustration of the big brands launching ‘Blood Orange’ products any time of year, that have likely never seen a real blood orange, and that are often a nuclear orange colour. This sparked a 2 month long quest for Adam in trying to create the ultimate expression of gin containing FRESH, SEASONAL, blood oranges.

For those that don’t know the season on blood oranges is incredibly short, with the majority of the fruit coming from December through to February. So we get it, they’re a nightmare to work with! (As Adam found out).

However, not to be deterred we decided to go away and create a gin that used both the ZEST & FLESH of fresh blood oranges to give this gin its distinctive colour and flavour.
