CAP Gin Côte d'Azur

Handcrafted in the French Riviera at Cap d'Ail near Monaco, Cap Gin is an artisanal Mediterranean spirit inspired by the sunny landscapes and coastal flora of the Côte d'Azur. Distilled in copper pot stills, this expression combines classic gin botanicals with nine hand-selected Mediterranean elements, including French Riviera mimosa, coastal pine, wild thyme, orange blossom, and fresh Menton citrus peels. The result is a vibrant, elegant, and sun-drenched coastal gin with a bright citrus entry and a delicate floral backbone.

Food Pairing: Grilled Mediterranean sea bass, fresh oysters, Niçoise salad, goat cheese crostini, bouillabaisse, or lemon-herb chicken skewers.

Tasting Notes: Crystal clear in appearance with a smooth, bright, and silky medium body.

Nose: Intensely fresh and aromatic, opening with fragrant mimosa flowers, sweet orange blossom, and zesty Menton lemon peel, supported by coastal pine and wild Mediterranean herbs.

Palate: Elegant, crisp, and citrus-forward, opening with juicy grapefruit and lemon oils before unfolding into layers of piney juniper, subtle floral mimosa, earth-toned thyme, and warm coriander spice.

Finish: Medium-long, clean, and refreshing with lingering notes of bright citrus zest, soft floral blossoms, and dry coastal pine.

Serve: Serve over large ice cubes topped with premium Mediterranean tonic water, garnished with a slice of fresh grapefruit and a sprig of fresh thyme, or as an ideal base for a French 75, Southside, or French Riviera Spritz.
