From rosé to vermouth, blush-coloured drinks have soared in popularity in the last few years, particularly when it comes to gin. Using a variety of botanicals and flavourings to colour the spirit, pink gins range from fruity and sweet liqueurs to delicate dry numbers. They’re surprisingly versatile – use them in G&Ts, spritzes and negronis.

Mirabeau Dry Gin

mirabeau

Best pink gin for gifting

Tarquin's Rhubarb and Raspberry Gin

tarquin

Best raspberry gin

This Cornish gin is deliciously tart and fruity, with a hint of appetising bittersweetness. We think it would make a delicious pink negroni with rosé vermouth and Campari.


Chase Pink Grapefruit and Pomelo Gin

A pretty pink bottle with dark pink floral design on the front

Best pink grapefruit gin

Created by distilling Chase gin with grapefruit and pomelo peel, this is a super-fragrant spirit, full of zesty tartness and well-balanced bitter notes.


Chapel Down Pinot Noir Gin

A long pink frosted glass bottle with pink gin inside

Produced using distilled pinot noir grape skins left over from vineyard Chapel Down’s grape harvest, this is a smooth, juniper-led number that has a delicate nose and a rounded flavour with light fruit and vanilla notes. One to choose if you prefer a classic gin rather than a flavoured one.


Edinburgh Gin Rhubarb and Ginger Gin

A pink bottle of gin with a dark pink cap

Best for a sweet tooth

Sweet enough to treat more like a liqueur, this had an appealing sweet-shop-like rhubarb and custard character, with subtle ginger heat. Enjoy served neat, over ice.

Available from:
Amazon (£28)
John Lewis (£28)
Master of Malt (£24.94)


Gordon’s Premium Pink Distilled Gin

A long pink bottle of gin

Best budget pink gin

A berry-led gin with prominent strawberry flavours, this had a dessert-like aroma and a syrupy mouthfeel – best for those who like their pink gins super sweet.

Available from:
Master of Malt (£17.90)
Ocado (£17.50)
Amazon (£17.50)


Kyrö pink gin

Kyro pink gin

Best pink gin for sipping neat

This rye-based gin hails all the way from Finland. It’s slightly sweeter than traditional gin, with delicate red fruits, tangy rhubarb and a nice creaminess. Try sipping it neat over ice.


The Cotswolds Distillery No.1 wildflower gin

Cotswolds wildflower gin

Best floral pink gin

This vibrant gin adds lavender, cornflowers, orange and rhubarb root to the brand’s original (and excellent) London dry base spirit. Expect juniper, but also a heady floral character and almost bitter, zesty orange that ends in a marmalade-like finish. In hue and taste, it’s not dissimilar to a bitter Italian aperitif, and accordingly, the suggested serve is spritz-style with tonic water. We’d also suggest topping it up with sparkling wine, or using it in a negroni or in place of Campari in an americano.

Available from:
the olive shop (£34.95)
Master of Malt (£34.95)
Amazon (£34.95)


Hensol Castle blood orange zest gin

Hensol Castle blood orange gin

Best citrussy pink gin

Bittersweet blood orange is the star of the show in this nicely balanced, flavoured gin, bursting with sunny citrus notes and juniper from the underlying base spirit. Try in a spritz with a wedge of blood orange.

Available from:
Master of Malt (£30)
Amazon (£29.98)


Slingsby rhubarb gin

Slingsby rhubarb gin

Best rhubarb gin

This fragrant gin, made using Yorkshire rhubarb, has a deliciously tart and intense flavour. Use to give your standard G&T a fruity twist.

Available from:
Waitrose (£28)
Master of Malt (£31.99)
Amazon (£22.80)
