according to tom robbins, 'Of the seven deadly sins, lust is definitely the pick of the litter'.
We’re with Tom. Lust. The physiological drive and desire for something, in this case an exquisite and delicious gin.
Lust combines blood orange with just a kink of passionfruit. The subtle orange flavour, tempered in the blood orange with the bitter tang of red grapefruit, is accentuated by the sweetness of passionfruit. Lust packs a playful and flirtatious flavour punch.
But at the end of the day this is a gin, so Lust still has undertones of juniper.
Elizabeth Cohen once said 'Maybe Spring is the season of love and fall the season of mad lust. Spring for the flirting, but Fall for the untamed delicious wild thing,'
What can we say, when you’re right Liz, you're right. It is delicious, and it is the wild thing. It might be the third of the seven deadly sins, but it’s the first amongst our gins.
As the bottle says, passion, desire, pleasure, and excitement.
It’s hard to keep a lid on it!
