Coriander seeds are a key botanical in gin-making, contributing a warm, slightly citrusy, and spicy flavor profile. Known for its versatility in both savory and sweet applications, coriander is cherished in gin for its ability to balance the more dominant flavors of juniper and enhance the aromatic complexity of the spirit.
Botanical Highlight:
Coriander seeds lend gin a nuanced spice with citrusy undertones, offering a subtle yet bright complement to juniper berries. Its warm, earthy flavor adds depth to gin, making it a core ingredient in the classic gin botanical mix.
Ingredients:
Coriander Seeds
Flavor Profile:
Spicy, slightly citrusy, and herbal with a hint of pepperiness. The flavor of coriander balances the more intense, resinous notes of juniper, contributing to gin’s complexity and smoothness.
Health Benefits:
Coriander has long been used for its digestive and anti-inflammatory properties. It may also support healthy blood sugar levels and act as a mild detoxifier, making it a beneficial addition to herbal remedies and infused spirits.
How to Use:
For gin infusions, lightly crush 1-2 teaspoons of coriander seeds per 500ml of gin and let steep for 24-48 hours, depending on how strong you want the flavor.
Coriander can also be used as a garnish for cocktails, adding an aromatic touch when muddled or dropped into your drink.
When to Enjoy:
Coriander shines in gin-based cocktails where its bright and spicy characteristics can complement other botanicals. Perfect for refreshing cocktails like a gin and tonic, or classic recipes such as the Negroni or Tom Collins.
Cocktail Pairings:
Coriander pairs beautifully with juniper, citrus fruits (such as lemon and orange), and herbs like rosemary or thyme. Try it in a gin and tonic with a twist of orange peel, or experiment with a Coriander Gimlet for a refreshing, spicy kick.
