PARAGON 700: THE GARDEN FOR EXPERTS AND AMATEURS

An exclusive look at Paragon 700’s new signature cocktail menu.

This year, we drew inspiration from our beautiful garden, full of lavender flowers and the delightful scent of blooming citrus trees. In addition to various oranges, lemons, and citrons, our citrus grove boasts a Yuzu tree and two-finger limes. When their fruits aren’t in season, we get creative with their leaves.

From here, we came up with the idea of using elements from the garden to create a connection with our guests. Through the scents, sights, and, ultimately, the taste of the drinks, we offer a unique experience, and it begins with our signature gin: Gin Potion.

Is it possible to distill and bottle the essence of Paragon 700?

With our new Gin Potion, we can confidently say we’ve accomplished just that. Our gin is a blend of botanicals sourced from our own garden.

Its classic juniper taste is elevated by the mix of lemongrass, lavender, citron, bitter and sweet oranges. Its intense aroma blends perfectly with the fresh citrus scent, making it ideal for mixing or sipping straight.

An exclusive product, Gin Potion 700 is distilled and bottled in Puglia with a unique, angular bottle design inspired by the historic façade of Palazzo Rosso and the renowned Paragon diamond.

Our gin is a sensory experience designed to shake up your taste buds.
