The recipe for IBZ 48 Premium Dry Gin combines juniper with lemon and orange peels at a robust 48% ABV. Familia Marí Mayans double-distils cereal spirit with juniper berries, lemon peel and orange peel in copper stills, then bottles the gin at 48% ABV. At this strength, the oils of juniper and citrus sit at the centre of the tasting and give this Ibiza-made dry gin a markedly firmer structure than the softer IBZ Premium Gin.

Juniper leads the aroma with pine, dry berry and a faint woody spice. Lemon peel appears next with a bright, direct freshness, while orange provides a broader and slightly sweeter perfume without changing the dry character. Each of the three ingredients remains easy to identify. The alcohol carries the citrus oils high above the glass, but a short rest allows the warmth to settle and reveals a particularly clean relationship between berry and peel.

The palate begins with concentrated juniper and a confident alcoholic warmth. Lemon sharpens the attack, then orange gives the middle a rounder citrus texture. The three ingredients progress in a clear sequence, from juniper to lemon and then the rounder orange. Dilution releases more orange oil and softens the resinous edge, while the finish remains long, dry and firmly juniper-led. Its clarity and intensity make it particularly appealing to drinkers who enjoy a powerful classical profile.

For the Perfect Serve, fill a balloon glass with dense clear ice, pour 4 cl of IBZ 48 Premium Dry Gin and add 10 cl of Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water, then stir gently to control dilution. Place a thin lemon wheel and a curled orange peel in the glass, and repeat both on a small plate beside it. The classic tonic gives the 48% gin enough resistance, while the two garnishes mirror the complete citrus side of the recipe without adding anything foreign.
