Product details
Gin Lubuski Passionfruit is a Polish flavoured gin that pairs juniper with exotic passion fruit, bottled at 37.5% ABV in a 50cl bottle. Labelled Marakuja in Polish, it takes the long-established Gin Lubuski base and adds tropical fruit, producing a softer, more aromatic gin. It is designed for refreshing long drinks rather than a dry Martini, and the smaller bottle makes it easy to try alongside the Original. Think summer evenings, garden parties and spritz glasses full of ice.
Tasting notes for Gin Lubuski Passionfruit
- Nose: Ripe passion fruit pulp, tropical sweetness and fresh juniper.
- Palate: Juicy and lightly sweet, with tangy passion fruit balanced by piney juniper.
- Finish: Fruity and fresh, with a tart, zesty close.
How to serve Gin Lubuski Passionfruit
Serve it over plenty of ice in a large wine or balloon glass. Plain tonic keeps it fresh and tart, while lemonade brings out the sweeter side of the passion fruit. Food-wise, it suits Thai-style salads, grilled chicken skewers, prawn tacos and fruit tarts, and it brings a holiday mood to an afternoon in the garden.
What to mix with Gin Lubuski Passionfruit
Gin Lubuski Passionfruit cocktails work best long, cold and not too sweet.
- Passion Fruit Spritz: 40 ml Gin Lubuski Passionfruit, 100 ml lemonade and 50 ml soda water over ice in a large wine glass, garnished with half a fresh passion fruit.
- Tropical Tonic: 50 ml Gin Lubuski Passionfruit and 150 ml light tonic water over ice, with a slice of lime.
- Marakuja Sour: shake 50 ml Gin Lubuski Passionfruit, 25 ml lime juice and 10 ml sugar syrup with ice and strain into a coupe.
How it compares
Compared with Gin Lubuski Original, the Passionfruit edition is sweeter and fruitier, and it comes in a 50cl rather than a 70cl bottle. Both share the same 37.5% ABV, so the difference lies purely in flavour: juniper-dry versus tropical. If you enjoy fruit-led spirits, Dębowa Red Fox offers a forest-berry alternative in vodka form.
Good to know
A 50cl bottle is a sensible size for a flavoured gin you may not open every week, and it slips easily into a gift bag. Wodka Company delivers Gin Lubuski Passionfruit 50cl across the UK from London. A Polish passion fruit gin also makes a fun contrast at a home gin tasting.
Po polsku
Smakowa odmiana klasyka, Gin Lubuski Passionfruit (Marakuja), łączy jałowiec z egzotyczną marakują. Ma 37,5% mocy i mniejszą butelkę 0,5 l, więc łatwo zestawić go z wersją Original. Jest soczysty i lekko słodki, z kwaskowatym owocem równoważonym żywicznym jałowcem i świeżym, owocowym finiszem. To raczej baza do orzeźwiających long drinków niż do wytrawnego Martini. Dobrze smakuje z lodem i tonikiem lub lemoniadą, a latem w spritzu z wodą sodową.

Marakuja is the Polish word for passion fruit, the flavour added to the juniper base of Gin Lubuski Passionfruit. The name appears on the Polish label in place of the English one.
What cocktail can I make with Gin Lubuski Passionfruit?
