Little Biddy Pink Gin

Where the original Little Biddy leans on native bush botanicals, Pink goes in a fruitier direction. It is a 40 percent gin made with fresh Central Otago cherries, lemon and pink peppercorns. The cherries give the gin its natural pink colour, which means there is real cherry juice in the bottle. A little sediment can settle, so shake it gently before pouring.

In the glass it has a gentle sweetness, a bright lift from the lemon, delicate floral notes and a light spice from the peppercorns, finishing smooth and balanced. The distillery suggests serving it over ice with a quality Indian tonic, a grapefruit tonic or soda water, garnished with a sprig of fresh thyme and a slice of lemon. It also makes a good Negroni.
