Okay, let's go! Have you heard that Quetzalli created a drink with gin ? Yes, we've left the tequila standard and are now ready for new adventures. And of course, gin is the new favorite! But as everyone knows, creating a new drink isn't as simple as it seems. There's a whole process behind it, full of challenges, experiments, flavors, and, of course, the part of making something you'll love!

That's why we decided to tell the story behind our new gin drink and show you how we create these flavors that are so Quetzalli. Come with me, it's a good story, I promise!

How We Created New Flavors (and Why It Was So Much Fun)

I'll let you in on a secret: creating a new drink is fun (and sometimes a little chaotic). Here at Quetzalli, we don't just want to throw together random ingredients and hope for the best. No, no! Our goal is always to create flavors that are unique and delicious for any occasion.

First, the main point: flavor . Many people love gin, but there are also those who turn up their noses at its strong alcohol content. Therein lies the challenge: how to create a gin drink that appeals to those who aren't too keen on that alcoholic punch while still having that special touch of tropical fruits?

The answer? Lots of experimenting! The key here is finding the perfect balance between the smoothness of the gin and the burst of flavor from the tropical fruits. We want the gin's flavor to shine through, of course, but in a balanced and enjoyable way. Don't overdo it, because, let's face it, no one deserves to drink something that tastes more like pure alcohol than a tasty drink.

Now, think about the cost-benefit aspect. We know you want a tasty drink, but you also want to keep your wallet healthy, right? That's why we always guarantee the best possible value. In other words, we don't charge a fortune, but we don't compromise on quality either. Our motto is: good drink, fair price.

And last but not least, there's our passion for tropical fruits . You know that "aha!" moment when you discover an ingredient that will completely transform the flavor of a drink? That's how we felt when we decided to use soursop . Soursop is an incredible fruit, super creamy, with that slightly acidic touch that makes your palate vibrate. Along with strawberries and gin, it's the star of our new drink!

What is gin, anyway?

You might be wondering, "But what exactly is gin? And why does everyone love this drink so much?" Let me explain quickly so you don't have any questions.

Gin is a distilled alcoholic beverage whose main ingredient is juniper . Yes, that small, somewhat unknown berry that makes all the difference in flavor. Juniper is responsible for that herbal flavor that makes gin such a special and versatile drink. The magic of gin is that, in addition to juniper, it can contain a variety of other ingredients, such as herbs, spices, flowers, and fruits. This blend gives gin enormous flexibility and allows for the creation of unique flavors, whether in a simple drink or in complex combinations.

Now, here's an interesting point: gin was invented in the Netherlands around the 17th century, initially as a medicine (how curious!). But, of course, over time, it gained popularity and became the drink we know today.

The different gin profiles on the market (because not all gins are the same)

One thing many people don't know is that gin isn't all the same. There are several types of gin on the market, and each has a different flavor profile. Want to see for yourself?

1. London Dry Gin : This is the most classic gin. You know that gin where you can taste the juniper right away? This is it. It's very dry, meaning it has no added sugar, and the herbal and spicy notes are very present. If you like a more robust drink with the gin's flavor prominently, this is the one for you.

2. Citrus Gin : This is a favorite among lovers of refreshing drinks. Citrus gin is infused with fruit peels like lemon, orange, and grapefruit, giving it a vibrant, acidic touch. It's perfect for hot days or for those who prefer lighter drinks.

3. Floral Gin : If you're a fan of something more delicate, floral gin is the way to go. It's smooth, with notes of flowers and herbs that leave the drink's aroma incredibly fragrant. Ideal for those who enjoy a more elegant, less intense experience.

4. Spiced Gin : If you prefer a bolder flavor, spiced gin is your perfect match. It incorporates spices like cinnamon, cloves, pepper, and cardamom, creating a warmer, more complex flavor profile. This gin is for those who enjoy drinks with a more exotic touch.

With so much variety, you can see why gin is so popular, right? And it was in this sea of possibilities that we found the perfect style for our gin, soursop, and strawberry drink. Nothing like having options to play with flavors!

Discover Quetzalli's gin drink (and why it will win your heart)

Now, let's get to the point: Quetzalli's gin drink ! After testing and retesting combinations, we've arrived at our winner. What makes it so special? Let me tell you.

Soursop, with its exotic flavor and creaminess, was the perfect choice to bring something new to the world of ready-to-drink drinks. It has a slightly acidic yet smooth flavor that harmonizes perfectly with the sweetness of strawberries. Combine this with gin, with its herbal and refreshing touch, and voilà: we have a drink that's quintessentially summery but can be enjoyed in any season.

Just imagine: a chilled glass, filled with ice cubes, with that soft pink color (thanks, strawberry!) and the irresistible aroma of soursop. It's like a tropical trip in every sip! Our drink is ideal for a get-together with friends, a moment of relaxation after work, or even to add that special touch to a celebration.

But above all, what really matters is that we've managed to create a gin drink that values Brazilian ingredients, showcasing fruits like soursop, which deserves much more recognition. And you know what's best? This drink is not only delicious, it's affordable, because we believe everyone deserves to indulge without breaking the bank.

The versatility of gin and the future of ready-made drinks

Now, speaking a bit about the ready-to-drink scene, there's one thing we need to acknowledge: gin is here to dominate. Thanks to its versatility, it's become an increasingly popular choice among consumers seeking convenience but not sacrificing flavor.

And let me tell you, you can make anything with gin! From classic drinks like the Gin and Tonic to bolder creations like our gin, soursop, and strawberry drink . The sky's the limit when it comes to gin.

Here at Quetzalli, our goal is to continue exploring new combinations, always with that familiar tropical touch. Have you thought about your next drink with passion fruit? Or perhaps with Surinam cherry? The fact is, with so many incredible fruits available in Brazil, we have endless possibilities for continued innovation.
