Chase Rhubarb & Apple Gin is a distinct Chase bottling that links the distillery's gin style with two very British fruit markers. The official Chase retail presence presents it separately from Chase GB Gin and the Pink Grapefruit reference. Rhubarb and apple give the recipe a natural push-pull: rhubarb brings tartness and a lightly vegetal edge, while apple gives crunch, juice and orchard freshness.

The nose is best approached through that contrast. Rhubarb gives a sharp, pink-fruit brightness without behaving like a jam note; apple softens the middle with a cleaner green-fruit impression. Juniper remains the dry anchor behind the fruit. On the palate, the style is lively and tonic-friendly: rhubarb lifts the attack, apple rounds the centre, and the finish returns to a fresher botanical line.

Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water is a strong partner because it adds herbs and citrus rather than more sweetness. A thin apple slice and a small rhubarb ribbon make the serve readable and attractive. The drink should be built with plenty of ice and a restrained garnish, so the fruit remains precise and the gin does not become a sweet fruit soda.

This is one of the more intuitive Chase fruit gins because its ingredients are easy to understand and easy to serve. It suits aperitifs, garden drinks and simple food pairings around fresh cheese, pork, herbs or salads. The best version of the serve lets rhubarb provide tension while apple gives immediate charm and drinkability.

A second tasting angle is useful: avoid treating the fruit as decoration only. Rhubarb shapes the acidity of the drink, apple gives the centre a softer orchard note, and the tonic should connect those two movements with bitterness rather than sweetness. That is what keeps the serve refreshing and recognisably gin-led.
