Give an extra helping of citrus oomph to your spritzes with Tarquin's Cornish Sunshine Blood Orange Gin, designed to be used in the serve! A combination of blood orange, pink grapefruit, rhubarb, raspberry and gentian root have been infused into the spirit, so it's got a balanced bitterness among the fruit. The folks over at the distillery in Cornwall recommend adding a splash of fizz and a dash of sparkling elderflower for the perfect serve.
Orange sweetness and berries, with juniper, tart fruit and a bittersweet herbal finish.
Lovely citrus flavour with the blood orange coming through nicely. Unlike many cheaper flavoured gins the fruit flavours tasted real and refreshing and not sugary.
Frankly I was disappointed. I have tried many Blood Orange gins in the past, but this did not really have the tang of Blood Orange. I noticed that, in fact, it was a mixture of fruits, so should have been labelled as such.
I tried this gin amongst many at a gin festival- it stood out as being special. The flavours are refreshing and very orange with other notes of summer fruits. I’ve mixed with plain, Mediterranean and elderflower tonic, and I’ve git a Prosecco to try as a mixer later. It’s on my Christmas list. Would highly recommend.
Lovely gin, I wasn't sure if I'd like it as thought it may be too fake orange tasting or too sweet or marmaladey but no, it is a perfect summery drink. It's just got the right mix of citrus without it being too sharp or too sweet. I love it straight with tonic, as does my other half who is usually a bourbon drinker. His words: "ridiculously refreshing"!
