Handcrafted Cornish Dry Gin – Created On The Wild Cornish Coast
Tarquin’s Mexican Zest & Salt Gin is an expressive and modern gin with a clear citrus profile, fresh salinity and a style inspired by the classic margarita. It is crafted on the wild coast of Cornwall, produced in small batches and bottled at 38% ABV, resulting in a spirit that feels playful, summery and highly versatile in drinks.
On the nose, it opens with fresh lime, sweet agave and aromatic citrus notes, while the palate continues with juniper, bright citrus and juicy lime tones. The finish is lively and refreshing, with clear zest and a pronounced yet well-balanced note of sea salt, giving the gin its own distinct character without losing its classic gin backbone.
The style is created as Tarquin’s own tribute to the margarita, where fresh lime, sweet agave, juicy citrus and Cornish sea salt come together in a more contemporary and cocktail-friendly gin expression. The result is a gin that feels bright, energetic and flavourful, with a profile that is especially well suited to those who enjoy citrus-driven spirits with a little extra character.
Tarquin’s recommends serving it with a light tonic, lime wedges and chili, allowing the gin to show both its freshness and its salty edge. It also works beautifully in cocktails such as a Picante or a Paloma-inspired serve, where lime, agave, chili and grapefruit naturally bring out the spirit’s Mexican-inspired style.
