Production & Heritage

Gin & Juice was developed by the same leadership team behind On The Rocks Cocktails — Patrick Halbert, Andrew Gill, and Rocco Milano — bringing significant RTD category expertise to the brand. The Citrus expression starts with a premium light gin base and combines it with real fruit juice featuring lemon, tangerine, bergamot, rose, and other natural flavors. No artificial colors or flavors are used in production, and the final blend is subtly carbonated, coming in at just 130 calories and 3 grams of sugar per can.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Bright tangerine and lemon zest lead immediately, followed by a delicate floral lift of rose and soft bergamot. The gin botanicals stay in the background, providing an herbaceous anchor without overwhelming the fruit.

Taste: The entry is fruit-forward and remarkably natural, with tangerine and lemon arriving first on the palate. At mid-palate, bergamot introduces a slightly bitter, tea-like complexity while rose petals add a rounded sweetness. The light gin base keeps the spirit presence gentle, and the subtle carbonation provides a quenching effervescence that carries each flavor cleanly.

Finish: Medium-short with a herbaceous and citrusy aftertaste that lingers pleasantly. The low sugar content means the finish stays clean rather than cloying, letting the botanicals and fruit fade out naturally.

How to Drink Gin & Juice Citrus

This RTD cocktail is designed to be enjoyed straight from the can or poured over ice in a rocks glass, where the carbonation opens up and the citrus aromatics become more expressive. While it stands on its own as a finished drink, it also works as a component in longer serves: pour over crushed ice with a sprig of fresh mint for a quick citrus spritz; top with extra sparkling water and a wheel of lemon for a low-ABV Collins riff; or combine with iced green tea and a squeeze of lime for a refreshing shandy-style cooler.

Best For

• Summer cookouts and outdoor gatherings where convenience and quality both matter
• Stocking a home bar fridge with a low-sugar, sessionable option for casual entertaining
• Introducing gin-curious drinkers to botanical flavors in an approachable format
• Beach, pool, or boat days where glass bottles are impractical
