5 Flower Power Gins we j’adore

I have tasted my fair share of floral infused gins, and I’ve got to admit – they might just be my favourite style of all time. Delicate – yet complex flavours, these gins typically contain botanicals such as lavender, rose, chamomile, and elderflower, which give them that distinctly floral aroma and taste. The use of these botanicals not only adds a unique flavour profile to the gin but also provides a subtle sweetness and a smooth finish.

Additionally, floral gins are versatile and can be used in a variety of cocktails, making them a perfect addition to any home bar. Whether sipped neat or mixed in a cocktail, floral gins are a delightful and refreshing option for gin lovers looking to try something new.

There’s nothing quite like the delicate aromas of rose, lavender, or chamomile in a well-crafted gin.

Here are my top 5 floral gin recommendations:

Hendrick’s Midsummer Solstice – This limited edition gin from Hendrick’s is a beautiful blend of floral notes and summer fruits. Infused with zesty juniper, orange blossom, and hints of cucumber, it is perfect for a refreshing gin and tonic.

Bloom Gin – The name says it all – this gin is a celebration of flowers. With chamomile, honeysuckle, and pomelo citrus, it’s a delicious and well-balanced gin that’s perfect for sipping on a warm day.

Roku Gin – This Japanese gin is a unique blend of botanicals, including cherry blossom and green tea. The floral notes are subtle but present, making it a perfect choice for those who prefer a more understated floral flavour.

Edinburgh Gin – The Scottish distillery has created a stunningly fragrant gin that is bursting with floral aromas. Made with Scottish heather, this gin has notes of lavender, pine, and hints of peppermint, making it a wonderful choice for a refreshing G&T.

Enjoy your gins a little more delicate and fragrant? Then i’m sure you’re already fully aware of floral gins.
They’ve gained some serious popularity in recent years. Characterised by their heavy floral and botanical notes, resulting in a unique and refreshing taste.

While the use of botanicals is not new in the production of gin – the inclusion of florals have certainly brought a new dimension to much loved spirit.

The floral notes in gin can come from a variety of sources, including flowers such as lavender, rose, and chamomile, as well as herbs such as thyme and basil. These ingredients are typically added during the distillation process or infused into the gin after distillation to create a more complex and layered flavor.

To sum things up, floral gin is unique, refreshing and pretty. Its delicate and nuanced profile, coupled with its versatility in cocktails, make it a favourite among gin enthusiasts and cocktail lovers alike.

Happy sipping,
