![A Sip of the Mediterranean [La Distillerie de Monaco]](https://thegoldenglitch.io/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/MedSpiritsinaglass-1024x576.jpg)
The Mediterranean is not only home to stunning beaches and breathtaking sunsets but also to some of the world’s most exciting spirits. Among them are Pampelle, Angelica Blue Gin, and L’Orangerie, produced by young distillers who have taken inspiration from the region’s vibrant culture and flavours.
Pampelle is a ruby red grapefruit aperitif that transports you to the turquoise waters of the French Riviera with its bittersweet and salty taste. This world-class aperitif is made using hand-picked Corsican grapefruit, yuzu, cederat, and bigarade, resulting in a drink that is naturally low in sugar but high in flavour. Its mixability and adaptability make it the perfect drink for any occasion, and it gives you that holiday feeling every day.
Angelica Blue Gin, produced by Aristides Distilling in Cyprus, is a unique and complex gin that adds a mysterious note to its flavour with the addition of a flower from the Far East. What sets this gin apart is its vibrant blue colour that transforms into pink when tonic is added, making it an exciting addition to any gin lover’s collection. Its complex flavour profile is a result of the combination of 10 organic, locally sourced botanicals and spices, including citrus fruit from Cyprus, juniper, rosemary, thyme, and lavender.
L’Orangerie is a premium liqueur made using bitter oranges found along the boulevards of the Principality of Monaco. It is a rare and unique liqueur best enjoyed chilled, over ice, or as an ingredient in cocktails, such as the Monaco Spritz. The distillery responsible for producing L’Orangerie is La Distillerie de Monaco, the first and only distillery in Monaco. The distillery uses artisanal methods and selects only the finest local raw materials, producing exclusive liqueurs and spirits inspired by the colours, aromas, and flavours of Monaco.
The young distillers behind Pampelle, Angelica Blue Gin, and L’Orangerie have taken inspiration from the Mediterranean lifestyle and its unique flavours to create exciting and innovative spirits that are sure to delight the palate. These spirits are a testament to the creativity and passion of young distillers and a perfect representation of the vibrant Mediterranean culture.
