Fruits & botanics
Arapuru Gin has 12 carefully selected botanicals from the 5 corners of the country! The unique richness of the Brazilian essence infused by the art of alchemy and distilling.
Have you ever tried the cashew fruit? Yes we use it! And it has a prominent role: juicy and astringent, brings out the sweetness and perfume of Brazil.
We obviously use juniper berries, coriander seeds and angelica root, but we also found unique ingredients to substitute the traditional botanicals Rob would use in his gins.
Imbiriba a brazilian cinnamon, Puxuri a nutmeg from the Amazon, Pacová a cardamom from the Atlantic rainfores, Bergamot Montenegrine from the South, Lemon Clove, Aroeira (pink pepper), Laurel and a brazilian Hibiscus.
