Last year, Tarquin’s unveiled Mexican Zest & Salt Gin as its limited summer release, and this year, Tarquin's Chilli Mango Gin launched to tap into an in-demand flavor profile. “We spotted a real shift in what consumers are after. That ‘swicy’ combination of sweet and spicy is everywhere right now. The data backs it up: 53% of Gen Z say they enjoy ‘swicy’ heat in their food and drink." The numbers don't lie: this spicy-sweet expression, chosen by the brand's community, was backed by more than 4,500 votes.

With its fruity sweetness and slow-building heat, Tarquin's Chilli Mango Gin is best enjoyed with a light tonic or in a mango margarita.
