To distil this gin, we've used the More variety of blood orange, believed to have originated in the early 19thCentury in Sicily. These have been added at a ratio of 50/50 with fresh lemons – upcycled from our Lemon Drizzle Gin production (for which we only use the peel).

Anno Extreme 95 Gin packs more punch and flavour, drop for drop, than any other spirit in the world.

Comes in a presentation box with a measuring beaker included.

Gin isn't exactly for the faint-hearted. Like most liquors, they contain about 40% alcohol, which is already relatively high compared to any other alcoholic beverage. Generally speaking, the alcohol by volume (ABV) of gin starts at 40% and can go way higher than that.

For a gin to be a gin, there must be at least 37.5% of pure alcohol in the total volume of liquid. Look for the ABV percentage on the next bottle you pick up. Sing Gin sits at a nicely-rounded 40%. Vodka's minimum alcohol content is the same – around 35% – but note the word 'minimum'!

Should a gimlet be shaken or stirred? ›

The Gimlet is classically stirred but once you've added fresh citrus juice (unless you've clarified your juice) even if stirred this co*cktail won't be perfectly clear. So do as Harry Craddock directs in his 1930 Savoy co*cktail Book and use some elbow grease to shake and invigorate this upper deck's co*cktail.

But a crisp, dry London-style gin like Tanqueray, Beefeater, or Gordon's also make for good choices. Save your more delicate or aromatic gins, like Hendrick's, for spare co*cktails like a Martini, where those subtleties can be appreciated.

Blood orange pair well with all types of less acidic fruit. These kinds of fruits attenuate blood orange's tartness, therefore: apricots, figs, strawberries, lime, lemon, mango, apples, melon and peaches. A marriage with pineapple mitigates the sour and slightly sulphurous notes of this orange.

With its orange/red hue, it's a warming brew of spicy orange marmalade, peppery juniper and subtle spices. To taste it's really the blood orange flavours that reign supreme here, with a presence that's both sweet and sour like the fruit.

The result is the bold, finely balanced, contemporary Beefeater Blood Orange Gin. Simply pour over ice, add tonic or lemonade, and garnish with a wheel of blood orange and a sprig of basil – or use in any of your favourite gin co*cktails.
