The gin of the moment? Blood orange gin. The zesty tipple is the word on everyone’s lips - and we can totally understand why!

We’re a big fan of blood oranges here at Craft Gin Club - apart from their juicy delicious flesh, the soft orange flavours married with tart grapefruit undertones is a taste combination we truly love! They add a delicious hint of bittersweet fruitiness when used as a garnish in your usual G&T, too.
