Bendita Carmen The Ultimate Elixir Gin

The Ultimate Elixir pulses with rosemary, thyme, lavender and citrus — the Mediterranean sea breeze in a glass — before damiana, a mythical aphrodisiac botanical with roots in Mayan and Mesoamerican tradition, adds an evocative, emotional edge.

Bendita Carmen calls it bottled ritual, landscape and liberation.

Nose: A garden by the sea with a sensual wink — lavender, citrus and rosemary opening to intimate, vibrant damiana.

Palate: Refined and balanced, velvety Mediterranean spice intertwined with the ancestral botanical's subtle intensity.

Finish: Persistent, warm and memorable, like an endless sunset.

Premium tonic, ice and a twist of grapefruit or lime to lift the Mediterranean freshness.

Made for tardeo: olives, Iberian cured meats with pan con tomate, conservas such as mussels or clams, boquerones and a wedge of tortilla. For contrast, olive oil chips, aged cheese or a square of dark chocolate.
