And for a French touch, let yourself be seduced by the exceptional Erika Navy Strength Gin, now available on Ginsations.com.

What is Navy Strength Gin?

Navy Strength gin is a style bottled at a higher proof — traditionally 57 % vol.. This makes it much stronger than a classic London Dry gin (40–45 % vol.).

This content amplifies the aromas of juniper, citrus, and spices, giving a bold and aromatic gin, ideal in iconic cocktails like the Gin Tonic, Negroni, or Gimlet.

The Origin of Navy Strength Gin

Its history dates back to the 18th and 19th centuries with the British Royal Navy. Sailors received daily rations of gin (or rum), stored near the gunpowder.

• If the gin spilled on the powder, it always had to be able to ignite.

• This was only possible from 57 % vol.

• This is how the term "Navy Strength" was born

Why Choose a Navy Strength Gin?

• More intense flavors – the botanicals fully express themselves.

• Cocktail versatility – it holds up better in strong mixes.

• A piece of history – every sip pays tribute to a naval tradition.
