Antidote Citron Gin 700ml
Pop the cap and you get a hit of freshly zested lemon, like someone just twisted peel over the glass. This is your G&T with the lights turned up. Bright, citrusy, juniper still doing its job underneath. Pour it over a fat cube of ice on a hot Nairobi evening and it just works. Easy to love, hard to put down.
The nose is all sunshine. Sharp lemon zest first, then that pine-y juniper peeking through so you never forget it's a gin. Take a sip and the citrus pops bright and clean, then settles into something rounder and a touch sweet (that's the grape base talking). Coriander and angelica root bring a soft earthy, almost herbal warmth in the middle. The finish is smooth, with a lemon tang that hangs around just long enough to make you want another.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Antidote is a French gin that breaks the usual rules. Instead of a grain spirit, the base is distilled from French grapes, run through the still five times for that silky, clean texture. Then it's built on 17 botanicals and finished with natural Corsican lemon, which is where all that sunny zest comes from. It's made by Les Grands Chais de France, a serious name in French drinks, so the polish is no accident.
