Gordon’s Sicilian Lemon – Britain’s Citrus Gin Twist
Get ready to uncork a bottle of Mediterranean sunshine with Gordon’s Sicilian Lemon, a 700ml burst of zesty, refreshing brilliance crafted by Diageo in the UK, where London’s gin legacy—born in 1769 by Alexander Gordon—meets a citrus revival inspired by a 1931 recipe. This isn’t just a drink—it’s a taste of summer at 37.5% ABV, distilled with the classic Gordon’s juniper backbone and infused with sun-ripened Sicilian lemons, blended with pure water for a spirit as lively as a Nairobi matatu zipping through traffic. Launched in 2020 as part of Gordon’s flavored lineup, it’s a gin that’s turned heads with its bright yellow cap and vibrant profile. Pour it out, and you’ll see a crystal-clear shimmer with a faint golden gleam, teasing your senses with an aroma that’s a Sicilian grove—tangy lemon zest and subtle juniper waft up first, laced with a grassy freshness, a hint of coriander, and a clean citrus hum, like a dusk breeze over Karura Forest. Sip it, and it’s a flavor escape: a crisp wave of lemon brightness and botanical snap washes over your palate, balanced by a dry juniper core and a smooth, invigorating finish that’s as cool as a Rift Valley dawn.

What’s the secret behind Gordon’s Sicilian Lemon? It’s the lemons and the legacy. Starting with Gordon’s triple-distilled London Dry base—juniper, coriander, angelica—it’s infused with natural Sicilian lemon flavors, sourced from the island’s sun-soaked orchards, a craft that’s made it a Nairobi favorite via importers like Dial A Drink Kenya. Known for its “citrus-forward zest with a juniper soul” per tasting notes, this gin shines with a light-to-medium body that’s earned it buzz as a “refreshing twist” among Kenya’s gin lovers, perfect neat or in a chilled G&T. At 37.5% ABV, it’s a versatile vibe—ideal frosty for a Westlands sundowner, a braai companion at Uhuru Park where its zest complements smoky meats, or a rooftop mixer where its brightness cuts the heat. Serve it chilled at 4-6°C—with tonic and a lemon wheel (or a slice of ginger for a twist), in a spritz, or neat with a mint sprig—and pair it with spicy nyama choma, where the citrus cools the fire, grilled fish that loves its freshness, or salty snacks that vibe with its zing. The 700ml bottle, with its iconic Gordon’s branding, is a British must—perfect for gifting to a gin enthusiast, stashing for a spontaneous toast, or stocking your bar for those moments when you crave a taste of Sicily without leaving Nairobi. Gordon’s Sicilian Lemon isn’t just a gin—it’s a vibe, a sip of Britain’s spirited soul bottled up for Kenya’s flavor-craving crowd who live for drinks that pop with zest. Enjoy it responsibly—this lemon gem’s got a kick that sneaks up smooth.
