Earlier this week, our American pals wrote about the drink that's got everyone buzzing stateside; Wölffer Estate pink gin. It's made of rosé wine. But it's gin. And it's pink.
It's sold in a lovely bottle which, as we well know, is one of the main deciders when it comes to wrestling with the question: "Should I be sensible and buy the cheap stuff or should I get the stuff in the nice packaging?"
This gin is also, as has been mentioned, pink. Millennial pink, to be correct. We're going through a kind of millennial pink "phase" at the moment (in case you hadn't noticed). In the past two months alone we've been subject to millennial pink trainers, makeup, millennial pink home decor, millennial pink-themed movies... Even millennial pink pasta has made an appearance.
Here in the UK, though, pink gin is and has been a thing for quite a while. Just a few weeks back, infamous British gin distillers Gordon's leapt into the pink gin pool and announced their version.
Here are the best of the pink gins, to make your G&T suitably on-trend.
Edgerton Pink Gin
Around since 2011, Edgerton is distilled in London and is made with all sorts of exotic and exciting ingredients from all the corners of the globe, from angelica root to liquorice root, casia bark to Central American spice damiana, which Mexicans would drink as an aphrodisiac. The pink comes from pomegranates.
Edgerton Pink Gin 70cl, £24.25, available at 31 Dover
Mombasa Club Gin Strawberry Edition
Also distilled in the capital, this brand, which is popular in Spain, has taken its centuries-old London gin and added strawberries and red fruits to come up with this pinky delight, which leaves a "clean" and "bright" taste.
Mombasa Club Gin 70cl, £15.54, available at Uvinum
Manchester Gin Raspberry Infused
Created by a real-life couple (cute), Manchester Gin is the product of their shared love of gin and their home city (note the Manchester worker bee on the beautiful bottle). The raspberry-infused gin uses the same base as the classic gin but with added raspberries. Definitely one of those bottles you won't chuck after using.
Manchester Gin Raspberry Infused 500 ml, £36.99, available at Manchester Gin
Edinburgh Gin's Rhubarb and Ginger Liqueur
Technically not a straight gin. This is rhubarb and ginger liqueur infused with gin. As a result, it's got a lower alcohol content (20%) and is recommended as a nice base for a prosecco cocktail.
Edinburgh Gin Rhubarb and Ginger Liqueur 50cl, £18.50, available at Tesco
Fentimans & Bloom Gin and Rose Lemonade
The result of a collaboration between gin favourites Bloom and rose lemonade favourites Fentimans. This is a much classier version of that cut-price gin-in-a-tin you were eyeing for your Friday evening train journey.
Fentimans & Bloom Gin and Rose Lemonade 275ml, £3, available at Waitrose
Eden Mill Love Gin
Another Scottish brand, Eden Mill's bottles are super nice and definitely deserve to be used as candleholders for many years after you've drunk the contents. The pale pink colour comes from rose petals and hibiscus.
Eden Mill Love Gin 50cl, £30, available at Eden Mill
Gordon's Pink Gin
Brand new, this stuff is based on a recipe from the 1880s and uses raspberries, strawberries and redcurrant to give it a subtly fruity taste.
Gordon's Pink Gin 70cl, available from August at Tesco
