Blood Orange Gin

abv: 40%

Beefeater

Gin

In 1876, James Burrough hand-selected oranges from London’s Covent Garden market to create an orange flavoured gin. It was this recipe that inspired the creation of Beefeater Blood Orange 143 years later.

The fresh citrus flavours of blood orange tune perfectly with the classic notes of juniper and citrus of Beefeater Gin. The result is the bold, finely balanced, contemporary Beefeater Blood Orange.

Simply pour over ice, add tonic or lemonade, and garnish with a wheel of blood orange and a sprig of basil – or use in any of your favourite gin cocktails.
