RAKSASA Sitrus Gin (500ml, 40% ABV) — Rice-Wine Based Calamansi Citrus Gin (Malaysia)
RAKSASA Sitrus Gin is a boldly Malaysian craft gin made from a 100% rice wine base and built around calamansi—Malaysia’s beloved citrus gem known for its perfectly balanced sweet-sour character (neither lime nor orange).
It carries a natural yellow tinge and citrus oils from the fruit, giving the gin a velvety structure and a vibrant, unapologetically citrus-forward profile.
Why it stands out
- Calamansi-led citrus gin with natural citrus oils and yellow hue
- Rice-wine base for extra smoothness and a softer mouthfeel
- Crafted in Malaysia by the Cave & Cellar team, positioned as a “zesty tribute” to local flavour
- 40% ABV | 500ml format
How to Drink
- Best serve (brand style): straight and chilled—no tonic required.
- Sitrus & Tonic: keep it bold and spirit-forward—1:1 gin to tonic, garnish with orange peel or fresh calamansi.
- Cocktail idea: calamansi pairs beautifully with light spice (e.g., cardamom syrup) and fresh lemon for a bright citrus-sour build.
Quick Answers
