This is the second release from Oriental Elixir — a collaboration between The Spiffy Dapper and Tanglin Gin Distillery. This gin was created by resting the Tanglin Orchid Gin in dried Chrysanthemum buds.

The Chrysanthemum is full on the nose and gentle on the palate. It will work well in cocktails and in G&Ts.

What is Chrysanthemum?

Native to East Asia and northeastern Europe, Chrysanthemum (mum) is a plant. It gets its name from the Greek words for “gold” and “flower.” People use the flowers to make medicine. As a beverage, Chrysanthemum is very popular as a summertime tea in southern China.

What is the Best Way to Enjoy the Gin?

The Perfect Gin & Tonic We recommend a ratio of 1 part Chrysanthemum Gin to 2 parts Tonic Water. The Chrysanthemum is prominent in the gin so we recommend that you use a fresh herb like kaffir lime leaf and a slice of grapefruit for garnish.

Optional Cocktail Kit + Masterclass

You also have the option to add on a cocktail kit with a masterclass. This kit includes ingredients for up to 10 cocktails.
