The Refreshing Taste of Cucumber Gin: A Christmas Surprise
Why cucumber for Christmas?
Because it brings an ultra-refreshing vegetal note that contrasts beautifully with traditional holiday spices, while still allowing the complexity of your homemade gin to shine through.
Gin made with the Ginkit rose petal & cucumber blend develops notes of cucumber, delicate flowers like elderflower, chamomile, and meadowsweet, enhanced by a touch of orange and lemon peel and finished with rose petals.
The result: an easy, light, yet aromatically rich Christmas cocktail that surprises with its balance of fresh herbs, delicate flowers, and bright citrus. It's the perfect way to introduce your guests to a unique, distinctive gin, crafted by you.
