Description
Marula Gin Pomegranate
The pomegranate edition of Marula Gin was inspired in the same way as their classic, and uses this gin as the base.
The Marula tree grows in Namibia, and is also known as the Elephant tree. Elephants love to eat the fruit, but when in their stomach it ferments and makes them just a little drunk! (Apparently monkey's and giraffes like it too for a similar reason!).
Taking inspiration from this, as well as the delicious flavour of the fruit, a number of Belgian gin connoiseurs decided to create a new gin, and Marula Gin was born.
Using the marula fruit as well as other carefully selected botanicals (juniper berries from Tuscany, lavender from Provence, rose petals from Bulgaria, coriander from India and orange blossom from Spain) they have created a truly delicious fruity gin.
In creating the pomegranate expression, Marula use the original base and then add pomegranates, raspberries, wild strawberries and blackberries. This ensure the original gins fruitiness is taken to the next level!
This is a truly sensual, mellow and easily accessible gin. The nose allows the additional fruit aromas to come forward, and these fruits also ensure a soft, pink colour. The pomegranate adds a particular (but not overpowering) sweetness to the gin too, which blends perfectly with the other fruit flavours.
Good to know! For those of us that love elephants (Emma@ginfling is a big fan), by purchasing Marula Gin, you are helping these magnificent creatures. In return for using the forbidden fruit of the elephant tree, Marula Gin supports Elephant Whispers (a safe haven for elephants in Africa) by adopting elephants.

Perfect Serve
This is best served in a large glass filled with lots of ice. Pour in 50ml of the gin, and then gently pour over 150 - 200ml of your chosen tonic. We recommend Fever-Tree Premium Indian Tonic, but if you really want to enshance the fruit flavours, try their raspberry and rhubarb tonic. Stir well, and garnish with some fresh (or frozen) red berries.
For something a little different, try a 'King Louis' cocktail. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, mix together 50ml of Marula Pomegranate Gin and 15ml of lemon juice. Strain into a glass, and fill with 120ml of Fever-Tree Ginger Beer. Garnish with fresh red berries.
Please, don't be like an elephant - drink responsibly!!
