CITRIC BLEND by Acidity Cartel Bottle (25cl) 0%abv (bbe05/25) (los)

Description

IN BRIEF
CITRIC BLEND by Acidity Cartel is a concentrated citrus seasoning and cocktail acidifier for professional bars and kitchens. It offers vivid lemon zest, lime peel, bergamot and a hint of yuzu, with green apple and white grapefruit adding complexity. On the palate it is crisp and taut, nervy rather than sharp, with lemon oil and lime juice at the core tempered by bitter pith; bergamot and yuzu give aromatic lift while a thread of pear sweetness rounds the mid-palate. Texture is lively, fine acidity cleanses the palate; the finish is dry, saline-tinged and persistent. Dilute 1 part (50ml) Citric Blend to 9 parts (450ml) water — once diluted use the same measurements as fresh juice in cocktails, altering acidity to taste.

ABOUT THIS LIQUEUR
CITRIC BLEND by Acidity Cartel is a concentrated citrus seasoning and cocktail acidifier, a bottled blend of natural citrus extracts and balanced citric acidity designed for professional bars and kitchens. It opens with bright, unapologetic citrus clarity, a focused and energetic concoction crafted to sharpen and enliven cocktails and food pairings. The initial aroma is a vivid chorus of lemon zest and lime peel, underpinned by bergamot and a hint of yuzu, delivering an immediate perfume that is both fresh and slightly floral. A delicate green apple note and a whisper of white grapefruit add complexity, preventing the nose from becoming one dimensional.

On the palate the blend is crisp and taut, the acidity precise and nervy rather than sharp, offering a clean, mouthwatering line that carries flavour through every sip. Lemon oil and lime juice dominate the centre, their brightness tempered by a subtle bitter pith that gives structure and prevents simple sweetness. Bergamot and yuzu contribute aromatic lift and a faint floral bitterness, while a thread of green apple and a barely perceptible pear sweetness round the mid palate, adding depth and balance.

The texture is lively, with fine, almost effervescent acidity that cleanses the palate and enhances freshness in mixed drinks. The finish is dry, saline-tinged and persistent, leaving a zesty echo of citrus peel, faint herbal nuance and a lingering, savoury brightness that invites another sip. There is no cloying sugar, no heavy syrupy residue; the emphasis is on clarity, purity and functional acidity.

CITRIC BLEND is exceptionally versatile. Use it to sharpen a sour, lift a spritz, brighten a gin base, or add tension to a tiki pour. It also excels in culinary applications — deglaze a pan, finish a ceviche, or drizzle over grilled vegetables to lift flavours without overpowering them. Packaged for precision and consistency, it suits bartenders and chefs seeking a reliable, high-quality citric backbone. Overall, Acidity Cartel’s CITRIC BLEND is a bright, professional tool: precise, balanced and vividly citrus, built to enhance rather than dominate.
