Corner 53 Pomelo Pink Grapefruit & Wormwood Gin

Gin description

Pomelo was born purely through experimentation and a desire to pack a gin full of as much clean, fresh flavour as possible. This led us to our knowledgeable local greengrocer, Nigel, who guided us through the remarkably temperamental and seasonal world of fresh produce. Guided by flavour combinations used in classic New Orleans cocktails, we settled on a balance of pink grapefruit, Cox's Pippin apples and Conference pears, offset by aromatic wormwood and sweet liquorice. Far too late into the process we discovered that packing this much flavour into this spirit came with consequences. Unfortunately there is no market for milk coloured gin! Luckily a distant connection to York University came to the rescue and provided the solution. A natural scientific process enabled us to press on, leaving Pomelo its full-bodied and thirst-quenching self. We do hate compromises.
