Gordon’s Tropical Passionfruit Gin is a flavored gin from the UK by Gordon’s (Diageo), combining their traditional London Dry base with natural passionfruit flavoring. Bottled at 37.5% ABV, it is crafted to balance the bold juniper character that Gordon’s is known for with a sweet-tart tropical edge from ripe passionfruit. It aims to provide a refreshing and exotic variation on the classic gin that’s ideal for mixing in summer-style serves.

Serving Suggestions:
Best served over plenty of ice in a copa or large balloon glass. Top with a premium tonic water and garnish with a slice or wedge of fresh passionfruit (or alternatively lime) to accentuate the tropical fruit. Also works well in fruity gin cocktails like a Passionfruit Martini or added to punches and spritzers for a summery feel.
