Gin connoisseurs  take heed!

It’s no secret that gin is the drink of the moment, but did you know that there is a new category of gin that’s soaring in popularity?

Pink gin is enchanting gin enthusiasts across the country, but exactly what it is and what makes it pink is often misunderstood.

Tom Hanson from Truro’s The Liquor Cellar explains: “Traditionally pink gin was a 19th century cocktail of gin and Angostura bitters, but the pink gins we see today take their colour from the addition of one or more key botanicals. Often these are fruits such as raspberries or strawberries, but just about anything can be added, so long as it brings about that classic rosy hue.”

To get you serving pink gin like a pro, The Liquor Cellar suggests the following recipe: 50 ml St Ives Berry Gin, 125ml Sicilian lemon tonic, an orange slice and red berries to garnish.
