Description
I admit, we were inspired by Campari when creating this liqueur. Its color truly resembles the iconic Italian amaro. The taste is pleasantly bitter, yet not as strong as Campari and not overly sweet.
The original Campari recipe remains a closely guarded secret, with no one knowing the exact ingredients in the liqueur. We've never kept the ingredients of our Red Citrus Bitter a secret. The bottle has always listed the ingredients we use: various citrus distillates, primarily lemon and orange from Sóller, along with gentian root for refreshing bitterness. The color comes from the natural carmine (Cochineal). Campari used this dye too, until nearly 20 years ago when they switched to artificial colorings.
No liqueur tastes better on warm summer nights than our Red Citrus Bitter. I have a full list of favorite cocktails that I prepare with it. I especially enjoy the RCB & Tonic, a beautiful long drink to savor slowly. Freshly squeezed orange juice with a hint of Red Citrus Bitter is fantastic, also known as a Garibaldi. A few dashes of Red Citrus Bitter add depth and a beautiful pink hue to a Gin & Tonic. And last but not least, it's an essential component of Negronis (and Porronis): the citrus notes just fit perfectly here.
This liqueur is unfiltered and made with 100% natural ingredients. Turbidity and sedimentation may occur, serving as evidence of its artisanal production process. Due to its high content of essential oils, traces may float on the surface.
Producer Overview
Gin Eva is an artisan gin distilled in Mallorca, but mostly it is a tribute to the Mediterranean spirit and its people. We created our gin to capture all the Mediterranean flavors we love and we are happy to share it with you.
The first gin (Mallorca's first gin ever) was produced in our distillery in 2012, when husband and wife team Eva Maier and Stefan Winterling started experimenting with spirits and botanicals in their small garage, surrounded by a junkyard and a cement factory.
Ten years later we moved into a new facility in 2022, still in the commercial area of Llucmajor, where we feel at home. That’s why we call our distillery “Casa Eva”. Our doors are always open and we look forward to your visit.
In addition to our classic Gin Eva with the red label, we created other special editions. The first edition is our olive gin, “La Mallorquina”, which won first place at the World Gin Awards in London in 2019 as World’s Best Signature Botanical Gin. At the same time, the red label was voted the best gin in Spain.
The unique taste of Gin Eva comes from Mallorcan juniper berries, botanicals and locally grown citrus fruits.
All ingredients are distilled in a traditional copper still by Eva and Stefan, a Catalan oenologist and a German winemaker.
