Southward Grapefruit Gin is a New Zealand craft gin with a fresh grapefruit edge, balanced by juniper for a crisp, easy-drinking style.
Southward Grapefruit Gin is made by Southward Distilling Co. and leans into that sharp, refreshing side of citrus that grapefruit does so well. It starts with a classic gin base, but the grapefruit is what really stands out.
It has a nice mix of zest and light bitterness, the kind you get from fresh grapefruit peel, rather than anything overly sweet. The juniper is still there in the background, keeping it grounded, but it does not take over. Everything feels pretty well balanced, with a clean finish that does not linger too heavily.
It is the sort of gin that works best kept simple. A G&T with a slice of grapefruit is an easy win, but it also fits into cocktails where you want a bit of citrus bite without adding extra sweetness. It is straightforward, fresh, and easy to go back to. One for the Grapefruit lovers out there
