Panda Gin and Cheese Pairing: The Unexpected Duo That Works Perfectly

Forget the wine, embrace the gin.

Yes, gin can shine on a cheese board—and not just a little. With its subtle aromas of lychee, cherry, basil, rosemary, orange zest, juniper berry, and star anise, Panda Gin offers a profile as complex as it is elegant, perfect for balancing with well-chosen cheeses.

Why does Panda Gin do the job?

• Fruity & floral (lychee, cherry): to soften blue-veined or full-bodied cheeses.

• Herbaceous (basil, rosemary): ideal with bloomy crusts or soft cheeses.

• Spicy and zesty (orange, anise, juniper): perfect for enhancing fatty or creamy textures.

Our pairing suggestions with Panda Gin:

🧀 Young sheep's cheese & pure Panda Gin

• Why does it work? The fruitiness of the lychee and the roundness of the cherry soften the natural saltiness of the cheese.

• Tip : Serve over ice with a thin slice of strawberry or red grape.

🧀 Brie or Camembert & Panda Gin + basil tonic

• Why does it work? The creamy sweetness of the cheese pairs divinely with the herbal notes of Panda.

• Tip : Lightly infuse your tonic with a fresh basil leaf.

🧀 Blue & Panda Gin on ice

• Why does it work? The power of blue cheese meets sweet-tart lychee and slightly minty anise: a contrast that electrifies the palate.

• Tip : add a few drops of cherry syrup or a candied cherry to the glass to add a fruity touch.

🧀 Mimolette & Panda Gin + orange zest

• Why does it work? The nutty, crystalline strength of Mimolette complements the citrus notes of gin.

• Tip : grate fresh orange zest directly onto the cheese.
