Watershed Four Peel Strawberry Gin

Watershed Four Peel Strawberry Gin begins with the distillery's citrus-led Four Peel Gin, infusedInfusionFruit or plants are steeped in the spirit to release their flavour. Done after distillation, infusion often adds colour too, and the gin can no longer be called London Dry.Glossary with strawberries grown in Ohio and picked at peak ripeness. Watershed bottles it at 44% ABV as a seasonal release. The fruit brings a clear strawberry note to the original gin's four-peel citrus base, while the producer notes that the natural colour can change over time.

Fresh strawberry sets the tone on the nose, followed by the brighter lift of citrus peel.

The palate keeps both sides in view: ripe berry gives a soft, rounded fruit character, while lemon and lime keep the taste lively and grapefruit adds a dry, lightly bitter edge. Juniper remains part of the underlying gin, so the fruit does not turn the drink into a simple berry liqueur. The finish is fresh and gently tart, with strawberry lingering alongside the citrus rather than leaving a heavy sweetness.

The tonic adds a crisp, bitter-citrus line that balances the berry, and the garnish keeps the strawberry visible without adding syrup. It can also bring a lively fruit note to a simple spritz with soda and lemon.

The seasonal character is expressed through real Ohio strawberries and their meeting with the Four Peel citrus base, not through a change to the gin's strength. At 44%, the spirit retains enough presence for a long drink, while careful dilution lets the ripe fruit and peel remain clear. Watershed's note about natural colour is worth keeping in mind: variation in shade is part of a fruit-infused product and does not, by itself, indicate a different recipe. Keep the serve cold and the garnish fresh for the cleanest impression.
