Elderflower Gin Gimlet

Master Bartender's Notes

The Sommelier's Assessment.

Appearance

Pale gold-green. The colour of an English meadow at midsummer.

Nose

Cold-infused elderflower first — honeyed, floral, unmistakable. Then No. Ten's botanicals rise underneath.

Palate

The gin announces itself. No. Ten's grapefruit-chamomile-citrus botanical character in full voice.

Mid-Palate

Elderflower sweetness and gin botanicals move together in a way no mixer achieves.

Finish

Long, floral, dry. The botanical character lingers. This is the finish gin drinkers understand.

"Tanqueray No. Ten is the gin that made gin drinkers stop calling it 'better than usual gin.' It's simply one of the best spirits in the world."

The Craft

How It Was Made.

01 / The Spirit

Why Tanqueray No. Ten.

Tanqueray No. Ten uses fresh whole citrus fruits — grapefruit, orange, lime — and fresh chamomile flowers in the botanical charge. The result is a gin with natural freshness and floral complexity that standard distillation can't achieve. It was designed for premium cocktails. This cocktail was designed for it.

02 / The Technique

Cold Infusion Changes Everything.

Cold infusion preserves the volatile aromatic compounds in elderflower that heat destroys. The result is elderflower with depth — honeyed, floral, complex — instead of the one-dimensional sweetness of cordials. Cold-infused elderflower and Tanqueray No. Ten's botanicals create a flavour marriage that hot-process methods simply cannot achieve.

03 / The Result

The Highest ABV. The Deepest Flavour.

The highest ABV cocktail in the MXTology range at 16%. The floral complexity of genuine cold-infused elderflower. The botanical precision of Tanqueray No. Ten. A gimlet that makes serious gin drinkers put down whatever gin they were carrying.

FAQ

Common Questions.

Tanqueray No. Ten uses fresh whole citrus fruits — grapefruit, orange, and lime — alongside fresh chamomile flowers in its botanical charge, rather than dried botanicals. This gives No. Ten a distinctive natural freshness and floral complexity that standard London Dry gins, including regular Tanqueray, simply don't have. It was specifically developed for cocktails where the gin's character needs to hold its own.

At 16% ABV, this is equivalent to 1.6 standard drinks per pouch — the highest in the MXTology range. To put it in context, a standard glass of wine is typically around 1.5–1.8 standard drinks. You're getting genuine gin strength in a premium cocktail format. This is not a light drink, and it tastes like it.

Cold infusion means the elderflower is extracted at low temperatures, which preserves the volatile aromatic compounds that give elderflower its distinctive honeyed, floral complexity. Heat extraction — the method used in cordials and most commercial elderflower products — destroys these delicate compounds, leaving behind a sweeter, flatter flavour. Cold-infused elderflower has significantly more depth, and it holds its character when combined with strong gin botanicals.

It's floral in the way a great gin is floral — present, identifiable, but balanced. The Tanqueray No. Ten botanicals and the fresh lime citrus provide counterweight to the elderflower. The result is a drink that is unmistakably floral without being sweet or overpowering. Gin drinkers who appreciate botanical complexity tend to find it exactly right.

Activatable Cocktails™ is MXTology's patented technology that allows a premium pre-mixed cocktail to be sealed, shipped, and activated by the consumer at the point of drinking. Open the pouch, reseal the top, shake to activate (which also chills the drink), and sip. The technology locks in fresh ingredients — real citrus, cold-infused botanicals, premium spirits — at peak quality, and activates them at the moment you choose to drink. Gordon Ramsay called it "bloody brilliant" on Food Stars Australia.
