Lemon peel is a core gin botanical used in craft and home distilling, characterised by tart, zesty, bright, candied lemon peel, crisp. It plays top-note brightness; most common citrus; balances earthy base. Most distilling recipes use 0.3 g/L of neutral as a sweet-spot starting dose; full dosing range and pairings below.
Fresh stronger than dried. Risk of bitterness on long maceration.
