English Drinks Company – Pink Gin for your Valentine!

Consider Pink Gin for your Valentine this year.

Each year for St Valentine’s Day I try to find pink things – I like a pink and heart shaped theme!  My children would often open their lunchboxes to find their sandwiches were cut into heart shapes!!

This year I found a lovely pink gin from The English Drinks Company.  As gin is having a very popular time at the moment I thought this could be a great one!

Gin is made from the same base ingredient as vodka which is a neutral spirit but then the addition of juniper and other botanicals in the distillation is what makes it a gin.

The English Drinks Company makes three flavours/varieties of gin; Cucumber and The Orangery. However the one I was sent was the Classic Pink Gin.

The Classic Pink Gin is a traditionally crafted gin with a very subtle blend of pomegranate and cinchona bark (the bark gives a sweet and slightly citrus tang with a bitter finish, this bitterness is found in tonic water as well coming from the ingredient quinine.).

A lovely cocktail would be Classic Pink Gin and a smooth vermouth slightly stirred and poured into a chilled martini glass.

The Classic Pink Gin retails for £35.00 for a 70cl bottle and is available from Majestic Wine Warehouses and selected retailers across the country (see the website for further details).

I served my Classic Pink Gin with some heart shaped pizza bites continuing my St Valentines Day theme.

I was sent a bottle of The English Drinks Company’s Classic Pink Gin.  I was not required to write a positive post and was not paid to do so.  All opinions and photographs are my own. As usual no photographs may be reproduced in any manner without my written permission.
