Ruby Gin is our fun gin although some of its fans call it our ‘naughty’ gin: when we launched it it broke all the rules for what a gin should be! And despite her gorgeous appearance, Ruby is all natural – no fake or synthetic ingredients for this lady! Ruby is a thoroughly modern, floral-style ruby-pink gin! The gin is distilled with juniper berries, honeybush, citrus and a hint of cassia to provide the deeper, darker fruity low notes that are lifted by steam-infused rose pelargonium and lavender blossoms. The colour is derived from an infusion with hibiscus flowers, which also lend subtle mysterious notes to the floral bouquet. The gin is made slightly dry and slightly bitter, to create a balanced and aromatic contemporary-style gin designed for adventurous gin-lovers wanting to explore flavoured tonic, and it makes the most beautiful fragrant pink cocktails. Equally delicious sipped Campari-style, served as a cocktail in a tall glass with muddled fruit and a mixer, or enjoyed with tonic or ginger ale. Ruby Gin goes especially well when paired with inventive floral tonics, and excels when garnished with sweet seasonal citrus or berries. Botanicals: Juniper, Coriander, Angelica root, Honeybush, Lemon peel, Orris root, Cassia Bark, Lavender, Elderberry, Hibiscus flower, Rose Pelargonium. Aroma: Top notes of rose and citrus on a scented herbaceous lavender background, spiked with sweet spice. Palate: Juniper and lavender combine on the mid-palate, encased in Turkish Delight flavours from the pelargonium. Complexity and density provided by the honeybush and spices. Finish: Deep berry jam and fynbos linger with sweet spice and persistent lavender. Perfect Serve: Our gorgeous glowing Ruby Gin is the perfect base for your contemporary gin cocktails. It stands up well to flavoured tonics and mixers, especially when garnished with sweet berry or citrus fruit.
