The Illusionist Gin FC Bayern München Edition Description
The Illusionist Gin FC Bayern München Edition is a Germany-made gin released in collaboration with FC Bayern München. Produced by The Illusionist Distillery in Munich, it is bottled at 45% ABV.
A defining characteristic of this edition is its color transformation when tonic water is added: the deep, bramble-dark base turns into an FC Bayern red hue in the glass.
The aromatic profile is built around a botanical composition of 11 ingredients. Among the highlighted botanicals are juniper, blackberry, red clover, and lime, which together frame a fresh, fruit-led and herbal register.
In service, it is naturally suited to a gin and tonic to showcase the color change, and it can also be used in simple highballs or cocktails where citrus and berry-accented botanicals remain clearly perceptible.

In a highball glass, place a large, clear ice cube to maintain the drink's chill without diluting its bold flavors.
Pour 5 cl of The Illusionist Gin FC Bayern München Edition over the ice.
The gin's deep blackberry-black hue sets the stage for its transformation.
Gently top with 15 cl of Thomas Henry Elderflower Tonic Water, allowing the floral notes to complement the gin's botanical profile.
Witness the mesmerizing color change to FC Bayern red, symbolizing the spirit of champions.
Garnish with a fresh blackberry and a twist of lime peel to enhance the fruity and citrus undertones.
