Sipsmith Zesty Orange Gin is built on the distillery's London dry base and bottled at 40% ABV. It brings together fresh and dried orange peel with bergamot, allowing the citrus to appear in several shades: juicy at first, fragrant in the middle, then gently bitter on the finish. The result is an orange-led gin with enough juniper to remain precise.

Fresh orange peel gives the opening its vivid, freshly cut character. Dried peel adds concentration and a faint marmalade quality, while bergamot introduces a floral, tea-like lift. The citrus is not treated as decoration here; it forms the route through the entire tasting, supported by the dry backbone of the original house style.

The palate combines sweet orange, zest and a touch of warming spice. Notes reminiscent of marmalade and cinnamon give the centre of the mouth a richer feel, but the finish stays clean rather than syrupy. Juniper and the traditional botanicals return at the end, bringing the profile back to a firmly gin-like close.

The recommended serve is simple: one part gin to three parts chilled tonic over generous ice, finished with an orange wedge. This ratio preserves the orange oils and bergamot while the tonic supplies lift and length. It is a useful choice for a relaxed aperitif and for highballs that need a clear citrus signature.

Zesty Orange Gin shows how an orange profile can be broad without becoming heavy. The fresh peel, dried peel and bergamot each have a role, giving the gin brightness, depth and a measured bitterness in the same glass. Its clean finish also makes it easy to pair with salted almonds, olives or lightly spiced aperitif dishes.
