As ever, the gin boasts notes of juniper but they're joined by red chilli, zesty ctirus, melon, pine, mulberry and sweet chilli. The versatile spirit is packed with quality seasonal botanicals and it has the potential to be showcased in everything from G&Ts and margaritas to mojitos and [spritzes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gordons-spritz-edition).
