Blushing Monkey Pink Gin from The Gin Kitchen distillery is a blend of The Gin Kitchen Gutsy Monkey Winter Gin and sweet black grapes.
It's a colour-changing expression so you can have lots of fun with this beauty with just the addition of tonic. If you pour the tonic on the initially translucent Blushing Monkey it transforms into a pearlescent pink, while those who add the tonic first and the gin second will find their drink forms a neon candyfloss cloud.
Plenty of botanical sweetness from fruits and herbs blend with oak-y juniper and warming cassia and ginger.
A) it doesn’t blush. It barely changes color. B) it doesn’t even taste all that good. Highly stringent, bitter on the finish, it’s like trying to drink turpentine. A complete waste of money
Absolutely one of the best guns I’ve tasted
Why? Gin should be so much better than this, especially at this price.
This is my favourite of the Gin Kitchen Gins, in fact it’s my go-to gin when only a G+T will do. Don’t be put off by the higher than usual alcohol content, it’s smooth and fruity and a plain tonic allows all its wonderful flavours to shine through.
