Ginocello has an alcohol content of 22% ABV (Alcohol by Volume).

This carefully chosen 22% ABV places Ginocello — the premium gin-based citrus digestif firmly within the ideal strength range for both aperitivo and digestif serves. It is strong enough to deliver structure, warmth, and presence, yet restrained enough to remain smooth, elegant, and composed at the table.

Rather than pursuing high proof for impact, Ginocello’s alcohol percentage is intentionally calibrated to support flavour, ritual, and refinement — the qualities that define how Ginocello is meant to be served and enjoyed.

Why Ginocello Is 22% ABV

The 22% alcohol percentage is not a technical afterthought. It is fundamental to how Ginocello behaves in the glass and how it fits into the dining experience.

At this strength:

• Citrus remains bright and expressive, without sharpness

• Gin botanicals retain clarity and balance, never overwhelmed by alcohol

• Sweetness stays controlled and elegant, avoiding heaviness

• The finish feels warming, not aggressive or overpowering

This balance allows Ginocello to perform exactly as intended: as a composed citrus digestif that complements food, conversation, and pacing rather than dominating them.

Alcohol Percentage as a Design Choice

In spirits, alcohol percentage is often treated as a marker of power or seriousness. Ginocello takes a different view.

For a digestif, alcohol strength must serve a purpose. Too high, and the alcohol masks nuance. Too low, and the spirit lacks structure and presence.

Ginocello’s 22% ABV sits deliberately in the middle ground — offering body and warmth without intensity, and refinement without dilution. This is the point at which citrus, botanicals, sweetness, and alcohol coexist in balance.

How 22% ABV Shapes the Ginocello Experience

Compared to full-strength spirits (typically 37.5–40% ABV), Ginocello’s alcohol percentage creates a noticeably different experience.

On the Nose

The lower ABV allows aromas to open gently rather than being pushed forward by alcohol. Citrus oils appear clean and lifted, while gin botanicals remain soft and precise.

On the Palate

At 22% ABV, the mouthfeel is smooth and rounded. The alcohol provides structure without heat, allowing flavours to unfold gradually rather than all at once.

On the Finish

The finish is warm and lingering, never sharp. It settles the palate rather than challenging it — a defining characteristic of a well-judged digestif.

This is why Ginocello feels composed rather than forceful, even when served neat or over ice.

Aperitivo and Digestif at the Same Strength

One of the defining advantages of Ginocello’s alcohol percentage is its versatility.

Because 22% ABV avoids extremes, Ginocello can transition naturally between roles:

• As a modern aperitivo, it awakens the palate without overwhelming it

• As a citrus digestif, it completes the meal with clarity and balance

The alcohol level supports both moments without requiring adjustment or dilution. This adaptability is central to Ginocello’s identity and one of the reasons it occupies a distinct space at the table.

Alcohol Percentage Designed for the Table

Ginocello’s 22% ABV is designed with tableside service in mind.

Because of its moderate strength, Ginocello is never intended for:

• Shots

• Rapid consumption

• High-impact mixing

Instead, it is designed for:

• Tableside serving

• Measured pours

• Slow sipping

• Intentional enjoyment

The alcohol percentage encourages a calm pace, reinforcing the ritual of the serve and allowing the experience to unfold naturally.

Why Ginocello Is Not High Proof

High-proof spirits often rely on alcohol intensity to create presence. Ginocello relies on balance.

At 22% ABV, Ginocello:

• Maintains flavour clarity over ice

• Retains structure as temperature changes

• Encourages aroma appreciation rather than alcohol impact

This is especially important at the end of a meal, when the palate is already engaged and sensitivity is higher. Ginocello’s alcohol percentage respects that moment.

Alcohol Percentage and the Gin Base

Ginocello’s alcohol strength works in harmony with its gin foundation.

Gin provides:

• Botanical dryness

• Aromatic complexity

• Structural balance

At 22% ABV, these qualities remain visible without becoming aggressive. The alcohol supports the gin rather than competing with it, allowing citrus and botanicals to integrate seamlessly.

This is one of the reasons Ginocello feels refined rather than sweet or spirit-forward.

Ginocello Compared to Other Citrus Spirits

Many traditional citrus spirits rely on:

• Higher sugar levels

• Neutral alcohol bases

• Alcohol intensity to mask rawness

Ginocello’s 22% ABV avoids all three.

Instead of using sugar or proof to create smoothness, Ginocello relies on composition and balance. The result is a citrus digestif that feels lighter, cleaner, and more contemporary.
