Drumshanbo makes excellent Irish gin and the newest addition to this line is flavored with California citrus. When worlds collide, right? Capitalizing on their already remarkable gunpowder gin, the addition of citrus from California seems like a marketing gimmick, combining two countries in the hopes of selling more gin. But it works. Whether the citrus is from California, Florida, or even the EU, the delicate addition of orange into the mix makes for a compelling gin. Taking the elements of the original Gunpowder gin (gunpowder tea, coriander, star anise, lemon-lime) and adding citrus elevates this into a compelling mixer, but also as a unique stand alone sipper.
