Lonewolf Cactus and Lime is a new spirit that's full of flavor from lime, plus juice of a pressed cactus and queen of the night—a fragrant cactus flower. The gin is infused with botanicals like pine and juniper, as well as citrus peels, pink peppercorn, cardamom, lemongrass, kaffir lime, almonds, coriander, lavender and more. With the addition of aromatic cactus, the gin is said to have notes of watermelon and lychee that complement the zesty citrus flavors.
The new gin spirit is launching just in time for Cinco de Mayo celebrations, representing the newest addition to BrewDog Distilling's range of Lonewolf spirits.
Consumers with adventurous tastes and those who recognize the plant's many health benefits are inspiring the creation of cactus-infused foods and beverages.
