Citadelle Jardin D'Ete
In stock
Citadelle Jardin d'Eté is a French dry gin with a bright, aromatic style built around citrus, florals and fresh spice. Juniper is clearly present, as it should be, but Citadelle surrounds it with a broader botanical composition of 22 ingredients.
What makes it stand out is the way the freshness develops beyond simple citrus. The nose is lively and intense, with citrus fruit and juniper first, followed by violet and a gentle spicy touch. On the palate the floral side comes forward, joined by melon and mandarin, while nutmeg and angelica add a more savoury herbal depth later on.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of gin we like to present for a fragrant, refreshing Gin & Tonic that still has plenty to discover. The suggested serve with (…)Citadelle Cornichon

Citadelle Gin Mini captures the Citadelle story in a smaller format: a French gin from Maison Ferrand, rooted in the surroundings of Château de Bonbonnet in south-west France. The setting is part of the appeal here: sunshine, sea, landscape and that unmistakable French apéro mood.
Citadelle is closely tied to its home. Juniper bushes grow around Château de Bonbonnet, and those berries gave Alexandre Gabriel the idea for a modern French gin de château. Today, the estate is surrounded by no fewer than 2500 juniper bushes.
Juniper is central to the gin's identity, joined by 19 other botanicals. Their flavours are drawn out through a slow process of progressive infusion, allowing the character of the botanicals to build gradually. At (…)Citadelle Gin Pouche 2,8l

Citadelle Gin Pouche 2,8l
Temporarily sold out
Expected: 01/11/2026Citadelle Gin Pouche 2.8l shows a different side of a familiar French gin. The liquid remains Citadelle Original: made from grain alcohol, infused with 19 botanicals and distilled in small copper stills. Before packaging, it is brought down to 44% vol., keeping the Citadelle taste intact in this larger EcoPouch format.
The format is the real point of difference here. This 2.8 litre EcoPouch was developed for the On-Trade and HORECA sector as a lighter, easy-to-handle and recyclable alternative. Citadelle states that the pouch weighs 17 times less than an empty bottle, meaning transport can require far fewer trucks on the road.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see this as a practical evolution rather than a change in style. The gin itself stays the same, while the (…)Citadelle Jardin D'ÉTé Mini

Citadelle Rouge

Citadelle Rouge takes the fresh Citadelle style into a more fruit-driven, gastronomic direction. It is made from grain alcohol, infused with 24 botanicals, and shaped around a clear red-fruit character while keeping that lively gin freshness at the centre.
Distillation in small copper stills gives the gin a crafted, precise feel. At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see this as a Citadelle expression for drinkers who enjoy fruit and freshness with a subtle spiced edge rather than a heavy or overly sweet style.
Red berries and rhubarb give Rouge its recognisable tension: juicy, bright and gently sharp, with enough depth to feel more than simply fruity. Additional information about the brand can be found at https://www.citadellegin.com/

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most frequently asked questions about gin
What is gin?
Gin is a spirit distilled from neutral alcohol, to which juniper and other botanicals (herbs, spices and fruits) are added. Juniper berry is mandatory: without it, it cannot officially be called gin.
What is the difference between gin and gin?
Although they are related, there is a distinct difference. Jenever is the traditional Dutch/Belgian variety, often malty and fuller in flavour. Gin is lighter, fresher and mostly more focused on herbs and citrus.
What types of gin are there?
- London Dry Gin: the most classic and sleek style, with no added sugars.
- Plymouth Gin: a protected designation of origin, a little softer and earthier.
- Old Tom Gin: slightly sweeter, often used in historic cocktails.
- New Western or Contemporary Gin: more modern style in which juniper is less dominant and other botanicals play the main role.
How strong is gin?
Usually between 37.5% and 47% alcohol, depending on brand and style.
Where does gin originally come from?
Its roots are in the Low Countries, with gin being its forerunner. British soldiers took the idea to England, where gin became a huge hype in the 18th century.
What are botanicals?
These are the herbs, spices and fruits that give gin its flavour. Besides juniper, you often see coriander seed, angelica root, citrus peel, cinnamon, cardamom, lavender and more.
What gin do you use for a gin tonic?
It depends on your taste. A classic London Dry goes well with a neutral tonic, while a more floral gin can shine with a spicy or fruity tonic. Garnish (lemon, cucumber, rosemary, ...) finishes it off.
Which gin is suitable for drinking pure?
More and more premium gins are smooth and complex enough to drink pure or with a little ice. New Western styles and special cask-aged gins are particularly interesting to taste this way.
What is the difference between gin and vodka?
Both are neutral distillates, but with gin, botanicals are co-distilled or added, giving the drink much more flavour and character.
What is pink gin?
This is gin that has a pink colour, usually due to the addition of red fruits (strawberry, raspberry, rhubarb, ...). Often also slightly sweeter in taste and popular in refreshing mixed drinks.
How do you use gin in cocktails?
Gin is hugely versatile and can be used for much more than just a gin & tonic. Well-known cocktails include the Negroni, Martini, Tom Collins, French 75 and Aviation.
The spicy base of gin makes it pair well with citrus, bitters and sparkling wine.
Where can I buy gin?
Every shop or supermarket these days has at least a basic range of gin. However, if you are looking for the perfect gin to make your perfect gin tonic with, then Drankenshop Broekmans is the place to be. You will find more than 400 gins in our assortment, in all price ranges.
