It rapidly dissipates and takes on a more subtle citrus character. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fizz Quality:<\/strong> A torrent of tight bubbles pop on the tip of the tongue and hang on through the mid-palate. Texturally, very pleasing. The quantity of bubbles alone lends it a nice texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Flavor: <\/strong>Quiet citrus at first culminates in a robust orange blossom\/<a href=\"https:\/\/theginisin.com\/gin-reviews\/neroli-gin\/\">neroli<\/a> note mid-palate. The sweetness is subtle and milder than I expected. This is likely because it segues into a rather powerful, clean quinine buoyed bitterness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mixing-with-strongwater-orange-blossom\">Mixing with Strongwater Orange Blossom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The honeyed neroli note is a nice complement to gin, especially those that emphasize the fruit quality of citrus\u2014 or those that don&#8217;t feature citrus at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try it with a citrus forward gin such as<a href=\"https:\/\/theginisin.com\/gin-reviews\/lochside-summer-gin-no-5\/\"> James Bay&#8217;s Summer Gin<\/a> for full citrus experience.
