October 14, 2020 | Crespo gin
I like gin more than any other alcoholic drink out there, and one of my favourites is Crespo from Ecuador. (My favourite Canadian thus far is Ungava. And pairing it with Fever Tree’s tonic water, especially the elderflower one, is wooo!)
I am planning a little celebration from myself soon, so I was perusing Crespo’s website (to check availability etc.) and ended up on the Botanicals page (out of curiosity), which listed the “11 spices from 4 continents” with which the “handcrafted premium gin” is “elaborated.” And one of the ingredients, coriander, is from Egypt. According to theepicentre.com, coriander is “is found wild in Egypt” and “features in falafel and in the Egyptian appetizer dukka.”
The other 10 spices are as follows:
Juniper from Bulgaria
Orange from the United States
Lemon from the United States
Cardamon from Guatemala
Cinnamon from India
Licorice from Uzbekistan
Angelica from the United States
Dill from India
Cassia from Indonesia
Orris from Morocco
