Edinburgh Gin’s Raspberry Gin is a popular flavored gin that balances the classic, juniper-forward profile of gin with the sweet, fruity tartness of raspberries. Here's a bit more about it:
Key Features:
-
ABV: 40% – a typical strength for gin, giving it a nice balance of flavor and potency.
-
Volume: 70cl – standard bottle size.
-
Flavor Profile: The gin is infused with raspberries, giving it a vibrant, fruity flavor that’s sweet yet refreshing. The natural sweetness of the raspberries is balanced by the herbal and floral notes typical of gin, like juniper, citrus peel, and angelica root.
-
Color: The gin has a lovely light pink hue due to the infusion of raspberries.

Serving Suggestions:
-
Raspberry Gin & Tonic: Pair with a quality tonic water (something slightly floral like elderflower tonic works well) and garnish with fresh raspberries or a sprig of mint.
-
Raspberry Gin Fizz: Add a splash of soda water, a little lemon juice, and a sugar syrup for a refreshing cocktail.
-
Raspberry Martini: Mix it with dry vermouth and a splash of simple syrup for a fruity twist on the classic.
