Sipsmith Lemon Drizzle Gin

Sipsmith Lemon Drizzle Gin is a spirited tribute to zesty citrus cakes and vintage lemon‑forward gins—built on the distillery’s classic London Dry base, then supercharged with a trio of lemon treatments: hand‑peeled sundried lemon zest, vapor‑infused fresh lemon, plus a touch of lemon verbena.

👃 Aroma

Bright and inviting, the nose offers a “glaze of biscuity sweetness with an unmistakable citrus twist” balanced by a subtle juniper backbone. It evokes the aroma of lemon cake and shortbread, richly aromatic but never cloying.

👅 Palate & Texture

• First sip: bold lemon zest, lively and tart, layered with smooth vanilla and almond — reminiscent of lemon meringue or drizzle cake.

• Mid‑palate: warming, slightly sweet, with a gentle liquorice‑root spice and floral perfume from its herbal elements.

• Finish: clean, warm, and lingering — a delicate touch of liquorice-juniper echo persists.

🍹 Serving & Pairing

This zesty gin shines in lively cocktails—think a Lemon Drizzle G&T, Sunshine Spritz, or even a twist on a French 75. It’s also surprisingly fun neat or on ice: Reddit users call it “SO good… a little sweet, a little lemony. Just the right amount of juniper. Perfection.” 

🌟 Final Take

Sipsmith Lemon Drizzle Gin captures the playful essence of lemon cake, expertly layered over a traditional London Dry. It’s indulgently citrus-forward yet balanced, making it a delightful gin for those who crave a dessert‑like sip without surrendering structure or spirit character.
