ORANGE PEEL RIBBONS

Distilling with citrus in gin is an art form that adds a vibrant and refreshing dimension to the spirit. At The Gin Pot, we celebrate the bright and invigorating flavours of citrus, harnessing the zesty zest of lemon, the tangy tang of orange, and the vibrant vibrancy of grapefruit to create gins that are as lively as they are unforgettable.

The tangy tang of orange brings a touch of sweetness and warmth to your gin. Its juicy and aromatic peel imparts a rich and fragrant flavour that balances perfectly with other botanicals. Whether it's the bright notes of Valencia or the deep, complex flavours of Seville, orange peel adds depth and complexity to your gin, creating a harmonious symphony of flavours.

When distilling with citrus, it's essential to capture the essence of each fruit while maintaining balance and harmony in your blend. By carefully selecting the finest citrus peels and employing precise distillation techniques, you can create gins that are bursting with flavour and brimming with character.

Orange ribbons are thin strips of orange peel that are typically cut or peeled from the fruit. These ribbons often contain both the zest and a small amount of the pith, resulting in a combination of bright citrus oils and slightly bitter notes.

Distilling gin with orange ribbons can impart a fresh and vibrant citrus flavour to the spirit. The oils released from the zest contribute a burst of tangy brightness, while the inclusion of some pith can add depth and complexity to the overall flavour profile.

The aroma of gin distilled with orange ribbons tends to be zesty and aromatic, with pronounced citrus notes that dance on the nose and evoke images of sunny orchards and blossoming groves.

Orange ribbons are often used as a botanical during the distillation process or added to the still along with other botanicals to infuse the spirit with their citrusy essence.

The beauty of citrus lies in its versatility. Whether you're crafting a classic London dry gin or experimenting with bold and innovative flavour combinations, citrus peels provide endless opportunities for creativity. Mix and match different varieties to create unique and exciting blends that reflect your personal style and taste preferences.

At The Gin Pot, we're passionate about citrus-infused gin and the endless possibilities it offers. Explore our selection of premium citrus botanicals and embark on a journey of flavour discovery. From the zesty zest of lemon to the vibrant vibrancy of grapefruit, let citrus be your guide as you elevate your gin-making craft to new heights. 

In summary, while both orange ribbons and kibbled orange can be used to impart citrusy notes to gin, the choice between them can depend on the desired flavour intensity, aroma profile, and textural characteristics of the final product. Whether you prefer the bright zestiness of ribbons or the concentrated richness of kibbled orange, both methods offer exciting possibilities for crafting unique and flavourful gins.

Cheers to bright flavours and unforgettable experiences!
