Komasa Gin is a Japanese craft gin from Kagoshima, produced by Komasa Jyozo, a distillery with over 130 years of shochu-making experience. Made with a rice shochu base, it delivers a smooth and clean profile. It features sakurajima komikan, a tiny mandarin orange known for its bright citrus notes, along with juniper berries and cypress bark, creating a balanced combination of fruity and herbal aromas.

Thin Slice of Fresh Mandarin OrangeInstructions
In a highball glass, place a large, clear ice cube to maintain the integrity of the drink without excessive dilution.
Pour 5 cl of Komasa Gin over the ice, allowing its citrus and herbal notes to unfold.
Top with 15 cl of London Essence Grapefruit & Rosemary Tonic Water, chosen to complement the gin's mandarin orange and cypress bark botanicals.
Gently stir to integrate the flavors.
Garnish with a thin slice of fresh mandarin orange, expressing its oils over the drink before placing it in the glass.
This enhances the gin's inherent citrus profile.
For alternative pairings, consider Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water or East Imperial Yuzu Tonic Water.
