We've all heard of Pink Gin, the cocktail which owes its pink blush to a dash of Angostura bitters. Well now there's a gin that's actually pink and its blush derives from extract of pomegranate.
Original Pink from Edgerton is made in the distillery that gave us the Original London Gin.
Besides the traditional gin botanicals, Edgerton has made use of the smoky, slighty minty taste of Damiana from Mexico and Grains of Paradise from West Africa.
This gives the gin "citrus top notes, a smooth, delicately spicy even slightly floral development, and echoes of fruit and flower that follow all the to the back of the mouth" according to chairman Martin Edgerton Gill.
I understand that pomegranates are very good for you, so if I use Original Pink does that mean I can count a G&T as one of my five-a-day?
