Citadelle Rouge Description

Citadelle Rouge is a French flavored gin produced by Maison Ferrand, built on the classic Citadelle gin distillate and enriched with a selection of red fruits. It takes its inspiration from traditional fruit maceration techniques, combining the house’s signature gin style with a vibrant and expressive fruit profile.

On the nose, fresh juniper forms the backbone, quickly joined by bright aromas of raspberry, blackcurrant and cranberry. Subtle citrus notes lift the bouquet, while blueberry and rhubarb bring a gentle sweetness and light tartness. The palate is round and generous, offering a clear expression of red berries balanced by the dry, structured character of the underlying gin. Juniper and citrus peel remain present, ensuring that the spirit retains its identity as a gin rather than a liqueur.

The finish is clean and persistent, marked by lingering fruit notes and a touch of freshness. Citadelle Rouge is particularly well suited to a gin and tonic, where its fruit character can shine, and also works naturally in cocktails such as a Bramble or a refreshing summer spritz.

To create the rhubarb ribbon, use a vegetable peeler to slice a thin strip from a fresh rhubarb stalk. This garnish not only enhances the visual appeal but also introduces a delicate tartness that balances the drink's sweetness.

Instructions

In a chilled highball glass, add 5 cl of Citadelle Rouge gin, known for its infusion of raspberry, blackcurrant, rhubarb, blueberry, and cranberry.

Fill the glass with large ice cubes to maintain a slow dilution, preserving the gin's vibrant flavors.

Top with 15 cl of Hysope Elderflower Tonic, whose floral notes harmonize with the gin's fruity profile.

Gently stir to combine.

Garnish with a fresh rhubarb ribbon, adding a subtle tartness that complements the gin's botanicals.

For alternative tonic pairings, consider Fever-Tree Elderflower Tonic Water, Fentimans Pink Grapefruit Tonic Water, or Thomas Henry Cherry Blossom Tonic.
