Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla: A Zestful Escape to Sunny Spain
Take a trip to sun-drenched Seville without leaving your doorstep with Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla gin. This citrus-forward spirit, inspired by an original recipe from Charles Tanqueray's travels to Spain in the 1860s, offers a vibrant and refreshing taste experience.
Aromatic Journey: A Splash of Sunshine
Pour yourself a measure of Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla and let the aromas transport you to a bustling Seville market. The gin bursts forth with a medley of citrusy notes, dominated by the sweet and slightly bitter character of Seville oranges. Hints of orange blossom peek through, adding a delicate floral touch. Beneath the citrus lies the backbone of Tanqueray's classic London Dry gin, with subtle whispers of juniper, peppery coriander, and a touch of liquorice. The overall impression is one of invigorating freshness, like a squeeze of sunshine on a warm summer's day.
On the Palate: A Symphony of Citrus and Spice
The first sip of Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla is an explosion of juicy orange flavour. The sweetness of the Seville orange mingles with a touch of bitterness, creating a complex and intriguing taste profile. The classic gin botanicals emerge on the mid-palate, with juniper adding a dry earthiness and coriander providing a touch of peppery warmth. The liquorice root adds a subtle sweetness that lingers on the finish, bringing everything together in a harmonious balance. The spirit itself is smooth and easy-drinking, with a refreshing citrus zest that lingers on the tongue.
Perfect Serve: Celebrate the Citrus
Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla shines in simple yet delightful serves. For a classic and refreshing gin and tonic, fill a highball glass with ice, add a generous measure of Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla (50ml), top with your favourite premium tonic water, and garnish with a wedge of fresh orange. The sweetness of the orange complements the citrus notes in the gin, while the tonic water adds a touch of bitterness and a pleasant effervescence.
For a more adventurous twist, try a Sevilla Fizz. Combine 50ml of Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla, 25ml lemon juice, 20ml simple syrup, and a dash of egg white in a shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a chilled coupe glass. Top with a splash of chilled soda water and garnish with a grapefruit twist. The egg white adds a luxurious texture, while the lemon juice and grapefruit enhance the citrus character of the gin.
