Shortcross Gin is made by Northern Irish craft gin distillery, Rademon Estate. This small batch gin is made using their custom made still, which features a 450 litre copper pot still and two enrichment columns. Using intriguing botanicals like fresh apple, elderberry and wild clover, as well as juniper, coriander, orange peel, lemon peel and cassia, they produce a vibrant, floral style of gin that befits savouring it neat, as well as enjoying with tonic.
Why not try a Shortcross Elderflower Collins?
- 50ml Shortcross Gin
- 20ml Elderflower Liqueur
- 30ml Fresh lemon juice
- A dash of Sugar Syrup
- Soda/Sparkling water
- Fresh sprig of mint
Combine Shortcross Gin, elderflower liqueur, lemon juice and sugar syrup in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake until well chilled. Half fill a tall glass with ice and pour in cocktail mixture. Top up with soda water and stir gently, then serve with a sprig of mint. Refreshing and delicious!
Juniper and orange peel forward, followed by light mint, elderberry and perfumed coriander notes.
Oily mouth feel. Sweet vanilla, subtle pepper and juniper. Orange peel and elderberry appears later on.
Long and warm with pepper and orange.
Lush
I don't usually write reviews but I had to in this instance. This gin is outstanding. On opening my husband commented immediately about the amazing fragrance, the fresh citrus fruit hits you. I had with fever tree tonic and the palette equals the nose! Will definitely be buying again!
Great gin garnished with orange. Love it
Have tried all of the Irish Gins and without a doubt this stands head & shoulders above them. Beautiful nose, complex & rich flavours and a silky smooth finish. With the recommended orange peel garnish this makes the perfect G&T!
For the price I expected more. A disappointing gin all round. Will stick to Monkey 47 - far superior.
