Ben Lomond Blood Orange & Pink Grapefruit Gin, 70cl

Ben Lomond Blood Orange & Pink Grapefruit Gin is a Scottish flavoured gin that pairs a classic juniper-led base with natural blood orange and pink grapefruit essences. Bottled at 38% ABV and made in small batches, it is bright, fresh and zesty, with juniper holding the base beneath the citrus. The brand describes it as capturing the perfect summer’s day, and the fruit comes through first, with a lightly sweet, berry-like edge that suits long drinks.

About the brand

Ben Lomond is a Scottish gin brand from the Loch Lomond Group, inspired by Ben Lomond itself and the flora of the surrounding Loch Lomond & The Trossachs area. The range is built on Ben Lomond Scottish Gin, a London Dry style with 11 botanicals including two hand-picked Scottish berries, and extends to several fruit-infused expressions. The label on this bottle states that it is distilled, nurtured and bottled in Scotland.

How it’s made

The gin starts from Ben Lomond’s signature Scottish gin, which is infused in small batches with natural blood orange and pink grapefruit essences. Retailer listings note that the natural colour may fade over time, which does not affect the quality of the gin.

Tasting notes

• Nose: Fresh grapefruit zest and juicy blood orange, with a balanced juniper note behind.
• Palate: Refreshing berry-like sweetness and lingering orange zest.
• Finish: Bright, with floral citrus and a tart, berry edge.

How to enjoy it

Serve Ben Lomond Blood Orange & Pink Grapefruit Gin long over plenty of ice with a good tonic and a slice of orange or pink grapefruit, or try it with soda for a lighter, drier result. The citrus profile also works in a spritz, a Gimlet-style sour or a gin fizz. Keep the garnish simple so the fruit stays at the front.
