Edible Hibiscus FlowerNaud Gin is produced by the Naud family, a historic distilling house established in the late nineteenth century and located in the Cognac region of France. The distillery operates in a restored grain mill surrounded by orchards and waterways, and continues to use traditional Charentais pot stills for its spirits. This environment and equipment shape the identity of the gin, which reflects both regional heritage and contemporary botanical craftsmanship.
The recipe is built around juniper, citrus fruits, and hibiscus. The juniper provides a classic resinous framework that anchors the profile. Citrus botanicals add brightness and lift, contributing fresh and zesty aromas. Hibiscus introduces a floral nuance and a gentle acidity that enhances the overall balance without dominating the botanical composition. Each ingredient is distilled separately using copper stills before being blended to create a precise and controlled aromatic structure.
On the nose, Naud Gin presents clear juniper supported by lively citrus notes and a subtle floral undertone. The palate is structured and moderately full, with an initial juniper presence followed by citrus zest and warm spice. The hibiscus contributes a delicate softness that rounds the mid-palate. The finish is clean, slightly spicy, and persistent, with the botanicals remaining well-defined.
This gin is suited to classic preparations such as a dry gin and tonic with a neutral tonic water, where its citrus and floral elements remain distinct. It also works effectively in cocktails that highlight its structure, including a martini or a citrus-forward shaken drink.

Edible Hibiscus FlowerIn a chilled highball glass, pour 5 cl of Naud Gin, renowned for its vibrant citrus and floral notes.
Add large ice cubes to maintain a crisp temperature without excessive dilution.
Gently pour 15 cl of Fentimans Valencian Orange Tonic Water over the gin, allowing the effervescence to blend the flavors seamlessly.
This tonic's sweet orange essence complements Naud Gin's citrus profile, while its subtle bitterness balances the gin's spicy undertones.
To enhance the floral bouquet, garnish with a hibiscus flower, which echoes the gin's botanical composition.
For variety, consider substituting the tonic with Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water or East Imperial Yuzu Tonic Water, both of which harmonize beautifully with Naud Gin's flavor profile.
