RICK Dry Gin Feel Mediterranean
Some gins refresh. Others enchant.
RICK Dry Gin Feel transports — pulling you straight toward the sun-soaked coasts, herb gardens, and windswept cliffs of the Mediterranean. It doesn’t just evoke a place; it immerses you in it.
Though rooted in the Swiss bar scene, this gin is crafted just across the border in Austria by Master Distiller Patrick Martinelli, whose skill and precision have already shaped three other celebrated varieties. With Feel, he captures something rare: the effortless warmth, fragrance, and charm of Southern Europe in liquid form.
It isn’t just a gin. It’s a holiday for the senses — Mediterranean air swirling through every sip.
A Distillation Inspired by the Mediterranean
Every bottle of RICK Dry Gin Feel is shaped by botanicals chosen not just for flavor, but for their ability to transport you:
- Rosemary – resinous and aromatic, like the hills of Provence
- Orange blossom – floral brightness floating on warm coastal winds
- Thyme – savory, sun-baked intensity
- Olive – smooth, earthy depth
- Basil – fresh green lift
- Pepper – subtle Mediterranean spice
These ingredients form a vivid picture: olive trees swaying, citrus groves glowing, herbs drying under the sun. Martinelli distills it all with precision, creating a gin that honors tradition while celebrating the bold flavors of the south.
The result is a spirit that feels alive with warmth — vibrant, herbal, and unmistakably Mediterranean.
Botanicals & Character
RICK Dry Gin Feel may read simple on paper, but the beauty lies in how each botanical plays its part:
- Mediterranean herbs – rosemary, thyme, basil
- Citrus & floral notes – orange blossom
- Depth & savoriness – olive and pepper
- Crafted in Austria, inspired by Southern Europe
- Created by Master Distiller Patrick Martinelli
The character is unmistakable: bright, herbaceous, expressive. Every sip feels like stepping into a sunlit courtyard lined with citrus trees and fresh herbs.
Tasting Notes

Perfect Serve
RICK Dry Gin Feel shines when paired with the right tonic, and the Ginferno community has spoken:
Serve it with Fever-Tree Indian Tonic for the perfect balance of bitterness and herbal brightness.
Enhance it with:
- A twist of orange zest – for a fruity, fragrant lift
- A sprig of thyme or a few basil leaves – to highlight the herbal core
- Plenty of ice and, for full Mediterranean flair, a copper glass
This isn’t just a G&T — it’s a mini escape to the coast.
