Gin Mare, the super-premium gin brand, is on a mission to bring the essence of the Mediterranean to the UK this summer. With its distinct savoury flavour profile, featuring hero ingredients like rosemary, basil, thyme, and local Arbequina olives, Gin Mare is perfect for pairing with food and creating the ultimate summer serve. Here are five ways to indulge in the Mediterranean lifestyle with Gin Mare.

1. Discover the Distinct Flavour Profile of Gin Mare

The Mediterranean Essence in a Bottle

Gin Mare is not just another gin; it’s a sensory journey to the Mediterranean. This unique spirit combines the aromatic herbs of rosemary, basil, thyme, and Arbequina olives to create a savoury and refreshing gin that stands out from the crowd. Alongside these hero ingredients, Gin Mare also includes hints of coriander, juniper berries, green cardamom, and zesty lemons and oranges from Seville and Valencia. The result is a gin that is light, refreshing, and perfect for summer.

Traditional Mediterranean Techniques

Distilled in an old fishing village just outside Barcelona, Gin Mare uses traditional techniques from the Mediterranean. The process involves delicate maceration and independent distillation of each botanical, ensuring that the flavours are perfectly balanced. This meticulous method captures the true essence of the Mediterranean lifestyle, making Gin Mare a must-try for gin enthusiasts.

Perfect Serve

Gin Mare can be best enjoyed in a stem wine glass, combining 50ml Gin Mare with 120ml tonic, garnished with rosemary and an orange peel. This simple yet elegant serve highlights the gin’s unique flavour profile and is perfect for any summer occasion.
