What is Pink Gin?

If you were to ask for a Pink Gin in a bar, you might get served a cocktail, the Pink Gin Cocktail became fashionable in the mid-19th-century in England and has been popular ever since then. The cocktail is made using a regular gin and a dash of Angostura bitters, a dark red bitters that makes the whole drink pinkish.

This all started to change in 2019 with gin distilleries producing bottles of Pink Gin. So now when you see bottles of pink gin on the shelves in the supermarket, you might be wondering what ingredients makes the gin colour change to pink.

How is Pink Gin Made?

Pink gin is very much like ordinary gin that has been flavoured/infused with red or pink fruits. The most popular fruits to create pink gin are strawberries, raspberries, pink grapefruit, rhubarb, or red currents.

What is Hibiscus?

Hibiscus is a plant well-known for its large deep red colourful flowers. It has sweet and tart flavours, similar to those found in cranberries.

Raspberry & Hibiscus Gin

Scout & Sage have produced an outstanding pink gin we know you’re going to love. The raspberries bring fruitiness and the hibiscus, soft sweet floral/citrus notes. There’s plenty of junipers, and we’ve pepped it up with the addition of Grains of Paradise, an aromatic peppercorn that adds a touch of spice. Backed up by orange & lemon peel, this creation is delicious served with an elderflower tonic and a sprig of fresh mint.

On the front of each bottle, there is a botanical chart which shows the ten botanicals used; hibiscus is undoubtedly on the list. Another nice touch is each bottle is hand labelled with the batch number and signature of the distiller.
