The perfect gin tasting:
Step 1: The right choice
Choose a high-quality selection of different gins: classic, fruity, and experimental. This way, every guest gets to discover new flavors.
Cabraboc Gin - the original
Authentic botanicals of fennel, orange and lemon tree leaves, and lemon verbena transform into a smooth gin with a fleeting sweet note, anise and citrus aromas.
Cabraboc Taronja Dry Gin
A dry gin with character, with delicate aromas of oranges and other citrus fruits.
Cabraboc Mestral Dry Gin
A complex yet rounded gin, with strong aromas like pine and myrtle.
Step 2: Try neat & with tonic
Start with a small sip neat to appreciate the gin's character. Then, you can combine the neat gin with tonic water or soda of your choice to create a delicious drink.
Step 3: Add botanicals
The special twist: Garnish! Fresh citrus zest, herbs like rosemary or basil, and spices like peppercorns round out the flavor experience.

Step 4: The correct order
