Pink gins are blossoming into seasonal essentials, bringing a playful pop of colour and flavour just as nature begins to bloom. These vibrant spirits go beyond trend status, offering a bouquet of botanicals and fruit-forward notes that surprise the palate with every sip. Whether kissed with soft floral hints or bursting with berry and citrus zest, each pink gin tells a story—perfect for fresh, spring-inspired cocktails.
Zest Fest Bright and brimming with lively zest, these gins are made for those who enjoy a refreshing, tangy kick. Sheringham Distillery, based on Vancouver Island, is renowned for its dedication to craft spirits made using locally sourced ingredients. Emphasizing the unique terroir of the island, Sheringham blends traditional methods with innovative approaches to create distinctive gins. Their Rhubarb Gin Liqueur is a perfect example, combining the region’s fresh, high- quality rhubarb with the distillery’s classic London Dry Gin for a vibrant, balanced flavour that captures the essence of spring on Vancouver Island. However, if you’re seeking a sip of the Italian coast, Malfy Gin Rosa transports you with a bright, citrusy profile and refreshing botanicals. Sicilian pink grapefruit with Italian juniper and botanicals—including lemon peel, coriander and angelica root—offers a perfect escape into the flavours of the Mediterranean.
Recommended Cocktail Pairings Citrusy and rhubarb-forward gins, like Malfy Gin Rosa and Rhubarb Gin Liqueur, offer a refreshing balance of tart and sweet, making them perfect bases for cocktails like Gin-Gin Mules and Bee’s Knees. Their bright, tangy profiles pair well with the zing of ginger beer in a Mule and harmonize with honey and citrus in a Bee’s Knees.
