Aromatic Adventure
The very first encounter with Ableforth's Bathtub Gin Persian Lime & Orange Blossom is an aromatic delight. Juniper, the quintessential gin botanical, forms the backbone of the aroma. However, it is quickly embraced by a wave of zesty Persian lime peel, its citrusy character both sharp and invigorating.

The orange blossom, which was more reserved on the nose, comes to the fore on the taste buds, its floral sweetness weaving a delightful counterpoint to the citrusy zest. Hints of spice, reminiscent of cardamom and clove, emerge in the background, adding a touch of complexity and warmth. The overall texture is smooth and velvety, leaving a clean, refreshing finish that lingers pleasantly on the tongue.
The Perfect Serve
Ableforth's Bathtub Gin Persian Lime & Orange Blossom is a gin that shines in its simplicity. For the perfect serve, pair 50ml of the gin with 150ml of a premium Indian tonic water, such as Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water.

This classic Gin & Tonic combination allows the gin's vibrant flavours to take centre stage, resulting in a refreshingly light and uplifting cocktail.
