If you weren’t able to board your flight to Europe last year, don’t worry, Gordon’s Gin is bringing the sun-soaked Mediterranean to you with its new gin. Just in time before summer ends too. The zesty, juicy orange gin, resembles an Aperol Spritz but tastes far from it. 

Made from Mediterranean oranges, the citrus hit complements Gordon’s signature juniper gin, resulting in a refreshing summer tipple, served best over ice, with a splash of tonic, and an orange slice to garnish. 

The Orange Gin joins an already diverse and vibrant Gordon’s Gin flavour range. From luscious and berry-infused Gordon’s Pink to citrusy and tangy Gordon’s Sicilian Lemon, there is a flavour for any occasion. 

The Gordon’s Mediterranean orange Distilled Gin comes in a 700ml bottle and can be picked up at your local bottle store for $50. There is also a ready-to-drink bottle of gin and soda, which is $21.99 for a four-pack. You can also find this at your local liquor store. 

If you’re wondering what cocktail recipes should you try with the new gin, here are three to satisfy your Mediterranean summer cravings.
