Beefeater Gin has unveiled it latest flavoured edition – this time its the mixologist’s favourite – Blood Orange.<\/p>\n

A year after it launched its strawberry-flavoured Pink iteration<\/a>, iconic gin distillery Beefeater has announced the creation of Beefeater Blood Orange.\u00a0<\/span>The brand has once again credited its founder James Burrough as the inspiration for the new expression, who apparently distilled an orange gin in 1876.<\/p>\n

\u2018Like our founder James Burrough, who created his first orange gin to appeal to his contemporaries almost 150 years ago, we have created this zesty new gin for the cocktail and spritz drinkers of 2019, who will love its enticing citrus aromas, bold flavours and statement shade,\u2019 said Beefeater master distiller Desmond Payne MBE.<\/p>\n

Beefeater has also cited the \u2018growing global thirst for fruit-flavoured gin\u2019, unsurprisingly \u2013 flavoured gin has grown 457% in value in the last year, and now comprises 28% of the gin category\u2026 if you count flavoured gin in the same bracket, of course.<\/p>\n

\u2018There is a significant opportunity in the UK for orange gin,\u2019 says Chris Ellis, commercial director for Pernod Ricard UK. \u2018Orange gin has swiftly become the second fastest growing gin flavour, after pink, yet the majority of orange gins currently on the market are only available at a super-premium price.\u2019<\/p>\n

Beefeater recommends mixing its Blood Orange with tonic or ginger ale, or even a soda water for a low-calorie option.<\/p>\n
