McQueen and the Violet Fog Ultraviolet Edition is a vivid purple hibiscus-and-berry gin from Brazil, handcrafted in copper pot stills with a proprietary mix of 21 botanicals and bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
McQueen and the Violet Fog is made in the scenic hills of Jundiaí, in Brazil, where the gin is handcrafted in copper pot stills. The Ultraviolet Edition builds on the brand's award-winning original gin, taking the same exotic botanical approach in a bolder, fruit-led direction.
The recipe is infused with 21 botanicals, including lemongrass, pomelo, jasmine, rose petals, coriander and hibiscus, for a beautifully complex and aromatic spirit. Natural red berries and carmine give it its striking purple hue, and the color shifts when it meets citrus or tonic, so every Gin & Tonic becomes a small piece of theater.
Expect vibrant flavors of dark berries and tropical hibiscus on top of a classic gin backbone. The lemongrass, pomelo and coriander keep it bright and herbal, while jasmine and rose add a floral lift, making it a refreshing and vibrant twist on traditional gin rather than a sweet liqueur.
The tall violet bottle, crowned with the brand's eye-and-crown emblem, looks spectacular on a back bar and makes this a memorable gift for any gin lover or cocktail host.
