How to Make Your Pink Gin Experience Personal and Delicious

Let’s be honest—there’s just something about pink gin that feels fancy, a bit cheeky, and completely fun. It’s the kind of drink that manages to look like a sunset in a glass while packing a zesty punch in flavour. And if you’re already into making your own beer or spirits at home, then you’ll love this next brewing idea... because pink gin isn't just pretty—it's a crafty way to show off your flavour skills.

Whether you're looking to level-up your cocktail game or searching for something a little lighter and fruitier for warmer days, creating your own pink gin is a no-brainer. It puts you in the driver’s seat—you control the flavour, strength, and even the colour. Full points for both style and finesse.

Why Pink Gin? And Why Now?

If you’ve scrolled through cocktail menus or been to a mate’s BBQ lately, chances are you’ve seen pink gin making a splash. It’s got that sweet-berry-with-a-botanical-kick thing going on that just works. Think juniper, citrus, and forest berries, all rounded out with floral notes. It pairs well with everything from tonic and soda to lemonade or prosecco.

But instead of forking out $60 for a bottle from a trendy label, why not make it yourself? Picture this: you’ve got mates over on a Saturday arvo, you’re serving cocktails using your homemade gin, and everyone’s asking you for the recipe. Feels good, right?

This little gem is how you get big pink gin energy—without breaking the bank. The Still Spirits Pink Gin 50ml flavouring essence is designed especially for people who enjoy fruity and fancy without complicated steps. Just add it to a neutral spirit—vodka works wonderfully—and boom, you’ve got yourself a high-end pink gin experience right from your own kitchen bench.

Why it's a game-changer:

Budget-Friendly: Forget paying bottled-brand prices. One small bottle of this essence goes a fair way.

It’s perfect for anyone just dipping their toes into making spirits or even long-term homebrewers looking to branch out beyond beer. It’s a small addition to your brewing kit but adds a powerful tool for flexing your creative muscles. And yes, it looks gorgeous on display too.

3 Delicious Pink Gin Cocktails to Try at Home

Let’s get to the fun bit—putting that homemade pink gin to good use. You don’t need a mixology diploma, just a favourite glass and a knack for adding ice first 😉.

1. Pink Gin Fizz

45ml homemade pink gin
Fresh lemon juice
Dash of sugar syrup
Top up with soda water

Shake everything but the soda and pour over ice for a tangy, bubbly refresher.

2. Pink Negroni

30ml homemade pink gin
30ml dry vermouth
30ml aperitif (think a twist on Campari)

Stir over ice and garnish with a slice of orange. It’s like your favourite bitter classic... only prettier.

3. Berry Tonic Soother

50ml homemade pink gin
Handful of frozen berries
Top up with tonic water

This one practically makes itself. Add berries and gin to a tall glass, pour over that crisp tonic, and you’ll have folks humming with contentment in no time.

Crafting Something That’s Truly Yours

The best part about making your own gin isn’t just the drink. It’s that feeling of independence. Like your DIY spirit just met your dinner-party host aspirations. You get to tweak it based on your taste buds—strong berries, lighter citrus, more floral, less sweet—you name it, you can bring it to life.

And you don’t need to turn your garage into a distillery. With just a bottle of Still Spirits Pink Gin 50ml and some basic brewing spirit on hand, you're halfway there already.

One Product, Plenty of Experiences

We all know someone who makes their own beer or has crafted a killer IPA—but pink gin gives you that edge. It’s unexpected and surprising. It's summer in a bottle one day and a cosy evening companion the next.

So if you’re in that curious phase where beer’s sorted but you’re craving something new to impress at the next get-together, now’s the time to experiment with flavours that speak louder—and brighter. Just remember to always have an extra bottle ready, cause once people get a taste, they’ll come back for more.

Cheers to home-distilled success 🍸
