This one starts where another gin finishes. Collective Arts takes its Rhubarb and Hibiscus bottling as the foundation, then adds raspberry and bitter orange on top, which turns a tart floral gin into something rounder and considerably more fruit-forward at 40% ABV. It is a variation rather than a separate recipe, and knowing that explains a great deal about how it tastes.

Raspberry is the addition that changes the balance. It brings a sweet, juicy red-fruit character that the rhubarb underneath does not have, and the two together read as tart berry rather than as sharp vegetable. Bitter orange is the second addition and the more useful one: its pith brings a fine bitterness that prevents the raspberry from sweetening the whole thing, and it raises the upper register where the base gin sits low. The rhubarb and hibiscus are still clearly present beneath, tart and floral, and the finish returns to rhubarb once the berry has gone. The palate stays bright from start to finish, with lemon-edged strawberry notes appearing across the middle of it.

Because two fruits have already been layered onto a fruit gin, the mixer must add nothing further. A plain tonic is essential, and a flavoured one would border on absurd in a glass already holding this much fruit. Ice the glass generously and choose a garnish that cuts rather than sweetens: a long curl of orange peel follows the bitter orange directly, and a single raspberry works if you want the fruit foregrounded. Building one gin on top of another is a decision that shows, and tasting the two side by side is the clearest way to hear what the raspberry and the orange actually changed. It ends tart and fruity, rhubarb lingering after everything else.
