I fucking love gin. It has always been my booze of choice. And I am always up for discovering new gins as they are all so different. Enter Boodles. I always test it out first on the rocks. I found the nose to be more subtle than other gins with hints of pine, citrus, cardamom and anise. It went down very smooth with notes of juniper and a surprising sweetness. The finish is a bit warm and spicy. Yum.
Okay now let’s make some cocktails. This one is called the Prince of Orange.
