The original pink gin, made with real raspberries, that’s been titillating taste buds since 2013. Thanks to these plump beauties, Pinkster is deliciously dry with a hint of fruit and an exceptionally smooth finish. Since launching in 2013, Pinkster has slipped down a treat, establishing itself as a quirky premium gin. Distilled in small batches, they hand-steep fresh, locally grown raspberries in the core spirit at our HQ near Cambridge. Pinkster make a marvellous G&T, with a distinctive colour and delicate flavour appealing both to seasoned gin drinkers and recent converts. G&J Distillers produce the base gin with five botanicals to their original recipe. They then macerate with a further three botanicals. Best of all, Pinkster recycle the raspberries, albeit slightly intoxicated, and sell them in farm shops and food halls as Boozy Berries or Gin Jam. For a refreshingly different G&T, serve with a raspberry and a sprig of fresh mint.
