Pour some sugar onto a small plate – (pink sanding sugar would work great here, or make your own by placing sugar in baggie or container and add a drop of red or pink food color and shake until it colors the sugar to desired hue), all natural cane sugar or white sugar would work great here too. The longer you leave the flavouring the stronger the taste but be careful not to leave for too long as it’ll ruin the taste. Now comes the best bit. Taste to see if you’re happy with your drink, and strain to remove any sediment that may have formed.

Lidl doesn't offer an online deliveries so you'll need to head to your nearest store if you want to get your hands on them. Kathleen’s Pro Lime Tip | To get the most juice from your limes, pop lime in microwave for 10 seconds then gently roll on counter before cutting OR plop lime in warmer water for 2-3 minutes. How to Make a Strawberry Gin Fizz At 40% ABV, J&R (that’s Jasmine and Rose) is deliciously different from other pink gins on the market. Made with botanicals including rose petals from Morocco and Jasmine flowers from East Africa, the petals are distilled which give J&R its light pink colour and floral taste.

Choose your flavours: if you want to make pink gin, you’ll need a flavouring of the same colour. We like rose petals (obviously) but also red fruits, pink grapefruit, rhubarb or blood orange. Make sure your container is sterile, otherwise the gin will go off during the process. We used a large sealable Kilner jar, but as long as it’s clean and won’t let the air in, anything goes. Add your BLOOM gin then add your infusing flavours. Pop the top and leave to soak.When BLOOM’s Master Distiller Joanne Moore first created BLOOM London Dry Gin, little did she know she would be instrumental in changing the way we drink. As the gin industry boomed, so did Joanne’s creativity. And, with a pinch of poetic license, a large handful of talent and a dash of vision, four new gins were borne to the BLOOM gin range. But first … the science bit. What exactly is pink gin? We knew Master Distiller Joanne Moore wouldn’t stop with creating just one flavoured gin. Excited by the success of Jasmine and Rose, Joanne went to work on a sister product to J&R. As ever, she took to her garden for #inspo. Fusing the floral taste of elderflower with the tangy sweetness of lemon, she disappeared into her distillery and reappeared with our Lemon and Elderflower liqueur. A balance of the crispness of traditional gin with the smoothness modern gin drinkers love, it’s the perfect addition to our range. First of all, you will need a good base product. We’re not being biased but BLOOM London Dry Gin is the best!
