Summer with more spirit

Impress your guests by adding some elegant pink gin-spiration to your next garden party or picnic

-

lue skies, long, hot, sunsoaked days, just a whisper of a breeze – the height of summer is the ideal time to entertain outside. However, after your first few parties celebratin­g the arrival of the sun, you may be wondering how you can keep those al fresco lunches, weekend barbecues and laid-back picnics feeling fresh and exciting. Especially if you don’t fancy yet another flat white wine spritzer alongside a wilting salad in the baking heat.

BA TWIST OF GOOD TASTE

Gin is the reigning champion of summer spirits. It’s light, botanical and blends with more than just tonic – you can pair it with everything from fruit juices to bubbly sodas. But why default to a standard G&T when you can wow your friends and family with Pinkster Gin? A deliciousl­y dry gin with a hint of raspberrie­s and an exceptiona­lly smooth finish, Pinkster is sure to become a permanent favourite in your gin collection. It’s made using real juicy raspberrie­s to achieve its delicate blush hue and subtle berry flavour, making it just right for a refreshing summer drink. Mixed with tonic, and served with plenty of ice, raspberrie­s and a sprig of fresh mint, it’ll be a sure-fire hit at your next garden party.

Plus, you can be certain that its pedigree is second to none. Pink gin might be increasing in popularity now but Pinkster was founded in 2013 and was the first to use fresh fruit to create a flavour-soaked spirit – making the company a true pink gin pioneer.

to create a signature smooth sip.

More flavour comes from the core spirit itself. Crafted by G&J, one of the country’s oldest distillers, it features five botanicals according to a recipe specially developed by Pinkster to complement the red fruit. The result is a crisp taste of juniper, with distinct peppery notes and the sweetness of fresh raspberrie­s to give it balance.

Even better, all those delicious raspberrie­s don’t go to waste once they’ve worked their magic on Pinkster Gin. Instead, they’re recycled into three other indulgent infused products – pots of Gin Jam, great for putting the tipple into teatime treats or using to make fruity cocktails; jars of Boozy Berries, which can be added to desserts or drinks, and bottles of Pinkster Royale – a delicious alternativ­e to crème de cassis in a glass of Prosecco or Champagne. So you can keep the pink gin vibe going all season long.
