What gin goes with grapefruit?

Any good London dry gin can pair well with grapefruit juice, however, for a really special serve, we recommend trying Cascave Stormy Gin.

Gin for gin and grapefruit juice

It’s a symphony of pink peppercorn, orange, lemon and juniper tones that pair perfectly with the refreshingly bittersweet palate of fresh grapefruit juice.

Together, they give you a gin cocktail experience that is bright yet rich, citrusy and spiced in all of the right places.

We then recommend garnishing your gin and grapefruit juice cocktail with slices of fresh grapefruit and a sprig of fresh rosemary.

The fresh citrus fruit adds to those gorgeous grapefruit fragrances while the woody, savoury rosemary adds layers of wonderfully herbaceous tones that work so well with both the gin and the grapefruit juice.
