Pŭtōnghuà
€15,00
South China citric sweetness and liquorice
The Middle Kingdom sits centre of Mike Crook’s China-inspired gin, Pŭtōnghuà.
A personal favourite, Mike Crook reveres the Mandarin for its unusual citric-sweet twist to Pŭtōnghuà gin, also adding nutty, woody and floral aromas. This combines perfectly with the sweet, liquorice and peppery nature of star anise.

To accompany Pǔtōnghuà, Dick Boot suggests a stir-fried side dish of baby corn and green beans with olive oil, garlic, chilli and soya sauce. Lastly, a trickle of honey and some fennels seeds to add a mixture of sweetness and liquorice.
Drink plenty of gin and tonic, nibble and try saying Pǔtōnghuà an hour later.
