Gherkin-Infused Gin Spirits : Vive le Cornichon

Citadelle Gin Vive le Cornichon is a limited-edition release that’s infused with gherkins sourced from an artisan producer of French vegetables. Specifically, Citadelle Gin makes the most of gherkins sourced from Maison Marc, the last remaining commercial cornichon producer in France. Maison Marc sets itself apart by cultivating its cucumbers without insecticides, herbicides or preservatives, and its commitment to quality is evident in Citadelle Gin’s newest creation.

Standout notes include intense, herbaceous notes of juniper and aniseed, as well as salty, fresh and vinegary elements with hints of mustard and pearl onions at the finish.

Because of the gin spirit’s naturally savory and briny flavor profile, it lends itself well to creating martinis.
