While the lemons give it a fresh and zesty aroma, juniper and five other botanicals including coriander, angelica and cassia bark give Malfy Gin a delicious and refreshing taste. It is the perfect drink to have on the rocks, in a gin and tonic or in a cocktail like Negroni or a Martini. The blend of Italian spring water with the botanicals make the delicious taste and look of the gin stand out. Rosa (Pink Grapefruits) is one of Malfy Gin’s popular flavours. It uses the peel of Sicilian pink grapefruits, Italian juniper berries, rhubarb and five other botanicals to give it that amazing pink colour. The sun-ripened pink grapefruits are grown in citrus groves on the Mediterranean coast where the mountains greet the sea. The taste of this gin consists of juicy fresh grape- fruits with a rich long juniper finish. You can enjoy this colourful burst of Italian sunshine on the rocks, with tonic or in your favourite cocktail. Gin Rosa Gin & Tonic with 50 ml Malfy Gin Rosa and 50 ml Fever Tree Med- iterranean Tonic is put in a glass over cubed ice and gently stirred to com- bine.

To complete this drink, top up with three parts of soda water and then garnish with a wedge of lime and a raspberry.
