The color is deep violet when poured neat, but transforms to a beautiful pink color when combined with tonic water or citrus juice. It’s made from the same 21 botanicals as the flagship gin, with the added complexity of red berries and hibiscus, plus carmine to create Ultraviolet’s striking violet color. of our 21 plants are mixed with a neutral alcohol, titrating 60% of alcohol, in a copper still. The plants macerate for 24 hours allowing the alcohol to extract the aromatic compounds and essential oils of each plant. The gin is so smooth and satiny, some might say voluptuous…a gin that’s ultra-smooth and well-rounded, and a step away from the traditional European-style gins (photo #4). PREPARE a large glass (or a Boston shaker) and a mixing glass with ice. Add the gin, Campari, vermouth, and bitters to the mixing glass.

The flavor is tart (from cranberries), sweet, and earthy. Concentrate and you’ll taste the cranberries plus jasmine flower, lemongrass, the Portuguese rosemary, and even rose petals. Wiz Khalifa first partnered with Sovereign Brands in 2018. In 2022, the two teamed up for a limited edition Wiz Khalifa bottling of the award-winning Brazillian gin.

If you like a gin that’s heavy on botanicals (and we do!), McQueen And The Violet Fog is the next brand for you to try. There’s the award-winning flagship brand (photos #4 and #5) and if you like something super-special, the brand has just launched its Ultraviolet Edition of violet-hued, flavored gin.

Sovereign Brands relates that no other gin has 21 botanicals, adding that six of the botanicals are found in no other gin [ source]. As a result, the complex palate of McQueen and the Violet Fog reveals something new with every sip: citrus, floral notes, heat, herbs, juniper, and spice.
