Gin Mare Capri
Gin Mare · Global Premium Brands (Vilanova i la Geltrú)
A graceful, sun-drenched gin that prizes finesse over botanical fireworks — bergamot is the star, and it shines without ever raising its voice. Essential for the Mediterranean-leaning bar.
Nose
Sun-warmed bergamot peel leads, followed by fresh-cut basil, soft juniper, and a whisper of sea-salt minerality. There's a creamy floral lift reminiscent of orange blossom drifting through a coastal garden.
Palate
Silken texture carries vibrant bergamot oil across the tongue, supported by green Arbequina olive, thyme, and rosemary. Juniper sits restrained but present, with coriander and a faint peppery warmth keeping the citrus from turning candied.
Finish
Long, gently bitter citrus pith fades into herbaceous garrigue notes — basil, thyme, and a clean mineral echo, like sea air after sundown.

Cocktail Suggestion
Bergamot Promenade — 2 oz Gin Mare Capri, 0.75 oz dry vermouth, 0.25 oz Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto, 2 dashes orange bitters. Stir over ice 25 seconds; strain into a chilled coupe. Express a fresh lemon peel over the surface and discard.
Food Pairing
Grilled branzino with lemon, capers, and olive oil; or burrata drizzled with bergamot oil and cracked pink pepper.
Crafted by the Ribot family in a former Catalan fishing village, Capri honors the Isle of Capri's prized bergamot, individually macerated and distilled before being married with Gin Mare's signature Mediterranean botanicals.

Tanqueray
Part of Tanqueray's limited-edition heritage series inspired by Charles Tanqueray's original recipes, Lovage brings back a Victorian-era botanical that most modern gins have forgotten.
