Citadelle Gin, known for its exceptional French workmanship, proudly presents its latest innovation in Singapore: Citadelle Rouge. This new addition to the permanent line illustrates the French tradition of distilling seasonal fruits by combining Citadelle Original Gin with rhubarb, cranberry, blueberry, raspberry, and blackcurrant to produce a bright red fruit flavour.
Despite its name, Citadelle Rouge has a clear appearance and natural sweetness produced entirely from fruit ingredients, with no added sugars. The infusion and distillation processes extract the essence of these fruits, yielding a clear spirit with a unique, refreshing flavour.
Citadelle Rouge enhances its predecessor's dry gin flavour with a blast of tart berries and the tang of rhubarb. This fruit-forward essence delivers a powerful yet natural taste that is beautifully clear in the glass. Citadelle Gin's originator, Alexandre Gabriel, was inspired by his wife's berry and rhubarb jam, which reminded him of his grandmother's preserves from childhood. This nostalgic impact inspired Gabriel to use ancient French fruit distillation processes to capture the freshness and authenticity of fresh fruits.
Citadelle Rouge provides three delicious recipes for gin aficionados wishing to expand their home cocktail repertoire. The Rouge & Tonic mixes 45 ml of Citadelle Rouge, Yuzu Tonic Water, and a fresh raspberry garnish for a delightful and delicious drink. The Rouge Collins is made with 50 ml of Citadelle Rouge, 15 ml of sugar syrup, and 25 ml of fresh lemon juice, topped with soda water and a lemon peel garnish for a zesty touch. The Spritz 'n' Berry, which includes 40 ml of Citadelle Rouge, 20 ml of Raspberry Liqueur, and sparkling wine topped with fresh mint, is a refined and bubbly alternative.
Bartenders in Singapore are likely to embrace Citadelle Rouge's rich red fruit flavour and incorporate it into classic cocktails such as the Clover Club. This new gin is available in popular establishments such as CU bar, Mandala Club, SO France, Alleybar, Set of Six and Potato Head Singapore. Citadelle Rouge is priced at SGD89 and can be purchased at The Providore Singapore, SO France Singapore, and EcProof.com.
