Sharish Gin Blue Magic

This delightful colour changing blue to pink gin is distilled in a traditional portuguese copper still, and it uses a combination of 9 botanicals carefully selected: Juniper, Cinnamon, Coriander seeds, Clove, Vanilla, Orange Peel, Lemon Peel, Bravo Esmolfe Apple PDO (Protected designation of origin) and Lemon verbena. to produce a sensational and attractive gin.

A new portuguese gin produced in Alentejo by António Cuco gets its name because of the village MONSARAZ. “Sharish” means ‘xara’ or ‘jara’, which is the Cistus ladanifer, used during the muslim presence. So Mont Sharish means hill raised in an impenetrable amount of cistus, giving origin to the name Monsaraz.

Distilled in a traditional portuguese copper still it uses a combination of 9 botanicals carefully selected: Juniper, Cinnamon, Coriander seeds, Clove, Vanilla, Orange Peel, Lemon Peel, Bravo Esmolfe Apple PDO (Protected designation of origin) and Lemon verbena . With the particularity that the last four botanicals are used fresh. Due to the diferent characteristics and points of evaporation, the botanicals slowly distillate separately, allowing a greater quality in the final distillation. During the process, all the impurities are removed so the result is as limpid as possible.

GIN SHARISH it’s a smooth gin with a unique aroma. Very citric specialy from the orange zest and a sweet flavour from the Bravo Esmolfe Apple and from the vanilla. The juniper it’s also easy to identify considering the softer notes of cloves and coriander seeds. At the final we can taste a little spike coming from the Lemon verbena.

António Cuco and his Gin Sharish not cease to amaze and now present Sharish – Blue Magic.

Among the botanicals we can find strawberries, raspberries, cinnamon, cardamom, lemon, angelica root, ginger, licorice, coriander seeds and clear juniper. The star of this new Gin it’s a flower named Clitoria ternatea that gives the Gin a blue tone without the use of artificial coloring. According to the producer this Gin has a “magic touch” because when added to tonic water the mixture of liquids passes from blue to a light pink. This new release celebrates the first year of life of the Sharish project in the best way.

So what makes it blue and why does it turn pink when you add tonic water?

One of the key botanicals in Sharish Blue Magic is Clitoria ternatea. More commonly known as Butterfly Pea it is a plant species belonging to the Fabaceae family. This plant is native to tropical equatorial Asia, but has been introduced to Africa, Australia and America. It is a perennial herbaceous plant, with elliptic, obtuse leaves. It grows as a vine or creeper, doing well in moist, neutral soil. The most striking feature about this plant is the color of its flowers, a vivid deep blue; solitary, with light yellow markings.

The blue pigment which comes from the Butterfly Pea during the distillation process changes with alterations in pH level (i’e with the addition of acid or alkaline). In the instance of gin and tonic the tonic water contains citric acid which when added to the gin alters the pH level and therefore turns the drink from blue to pink.

Different tonic waters will have different levels of pH and as such you may find when adding tonic water to the gin you will see varying shades of pink in the finished drink depending on what tonic water you use.

In the video below we used 1724 natural tonic water which does have added citric acid in it. A brand like Thomas Henry or one of the others we stock at Hammonds of Knutsford might give a different result.

Sharish Blue Magic Gin

With a combination of strawberry and raspberry fruits at the heart of its distillation process, Sharish Blue Magic Gin, a semi-dry gin, offers an entrancing sensory experience. The gin gets a lovely and lively flavor profile with the addition of these fruits. However, the visual appeal of this gin is just as strong as its flavor because of its signature blue color.

This Portuguese Gin has a distinct flavor thanks to a wide variety of exotic ingredients. Every sip reveals a complex medley of flavors, including strawberry, fresh raspberry, cinnamon, cardamom, lemon, angelica root, ginger, sweet liquorice, aromatic coriander seed, and juniper, the typical gin base. The Clitoria Ternatea flower adds yet another taste to the mix. Without using any artificial colors, this ingredient gives the gin its distinctive blue hue and elevates the richness of its flavor.

It's not simply a gin; this Blue Magic Gin is an experience. Its brilliant blue color undergoes a stunning transition when combined with tonic, changing to a delicate violet. This transformation in hue not only pleases the sight, but also elevates the sensory experience of drinking gin.

Reviews for "The Magic Shop Experience: A Transformational Journey"

1. John - 1 star: I was really disappointed with "Into the Magic Shop". The concept of the book sounded intriguing, but the execution fell flat for me. The author's writing style was overly simplistic, making it seem like a self-help book for children rather than a memoir. I also found the narrative to be repetitive and lacking depth. Overall, I didn't feel connected to the story or the characters, and I struggled to find any value in reading this book.

2. Emma - 2 stars: I had high hopes for "Into the Magic Shop", but unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. While the book started off with an interesting glimpse into the author's childhood, it quickly became repetitive and lost my interest. The author's constant emphasis on mindfulness and meditation became tiresome, and I felt like it overshadowed the potential of the story. I was hoping for more profound insights and personal growth, but the book failed to deliver on that front. Overall, I found it to be a lackluster read.

3. David - 1 star: "Into the Magic Shop" was a huge letdown for me. I found the writing to be overly sentimental and melodramatic. The author's constant focus on his own achievements and exceptionalism became tiresome and self-indulgent. Additionally, the book lacked substance and failed to provide any practical or insightful lessons. It felt more like a promotion for the author's mindfulness workshop than a meaningful memoir. Overall, I would not recommend wasting your time with this book if you're looking for a thought-provoking read.
