Discover the Best Orange Gins
Oranges have been used as a gin botanical for centuries and you'll find them used in a majority of classic gins nowadays, especially orange peel, so it makes perfect sense to create contemporary gins with oranges being the star of the show too. However, Orange Gins have taken a little while to emerge in the gin market, with Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla Gin being one of the first to launch in 2018, and a good handful more wonderful examples have been released since then too. While you'll find orange alongside other key flavours in Citrus Gins, the gins featured below (in alphabetical order) are gins which are very much focused on oranges (see our Blood Orange Gin guide too) and are all full-strength gins (37.5% ABV and above) and not liqueurs.
