Let’s take a closer look at the key ingredients in Craft Gin Club’s October 2021 Cocktail of the Month:
Micil Spiced Orange Irish Gin
Distilled exclusively for Craft Gin Club members in Galway, Ireland, this magnificent gin is a wonderful expression of County Galway. It’s made with local flora like bog myrtle and hawberry from Connemara, which gives the gin some wonderful floral touches that complement the delightfully rich juniper and warm orange and spice tones. It is a truly special tipple! Craft Gin Club members can buy Micil Spiced Orange Irish Gin on our online shop here!
Bibite Polara Green Mandarin
Produced on the sun-kissed Mediterranean isle of Sicily, this gorgeous mixer is brimming with bright, tangy green mandarin flavours that work so well with the juniper and spiced orange notes of Micil Spiced Orange Irish Gin. What’s more, its gorgeous green colour makes it ideal for using in Halloween cocktails like Craft Gin Club’s The Banshee. You can buy Bibite Polara Green Mandarin on the Craft Gin Club online shop at this link!
The Banshee cocktail syrup
Craft Gin Club’s team of gin experts has developed The Banshee cocktail syrup specifically for this cocktail, to complement the complex mix of citrus and spice notes that come from combining Micil Spiced Orange Irish Gin with Bibite Polara Green Mandarin. It’s sweet and fragrant and completely delicious! You can top up on this cocktail syrup in the Craft Gin Club online shop here.
