About This Drink

Cape Floral takes its lead from the Cape Rose Geranium, a fragrant botanical from the South African fynbos biome that drives the aroma here. Hydro-distillation is used to capture its character alongside juniper, coriander, angelica root, and lemon. The result is a gin-style spirit where the floral element sits up front and juniper plays a supporting role rather than dominating. The nose is softly floral and fresh, rose geranium immediately present. Juniper grounds it without taking over. On the palate the spirit is smooth, with a mild herbal bitterness arriving mid-palate and a clean, lightly citrus finish. It's a reasonable choice for anyone who finds traditional gin too juniper-forward. Serve long with tonic, garnished with cucumber or mint.
