A fresh springtime special, our Blood Orange and Thyme Gin brings the wonderfully sweet and tart flavours of fresh Blood Oranges and a sublime herbaceous Thyme background to a charming symphony of flavour.

Best enjoyed on a sunny spring day's picnic in a bee laden field; this Gin is highly sessionable. Post infusion of whole fresh Blood Oranges impart a charming orange sunset hue and a distinctively refreshing experience. The sweetness of the Blood Orange peaks into a delightful Sherbet-like finish. Juniper and classic Gin botanicals provide an understated and robust profile.

We recommend the following classic cocktail and mixer twists!

Pour 30ml shot of BMD Blood Orange & Thyme into a tumbler (Or any glass); add can of Blood Orange slush, top with ice and garnish with a fresh (Ideally flowering) sprig of Thyme for a very refreshing drink suitable for hot days or lovely evenings.
