Whatever your opinion might be, there is no doubt that pink liquor has an appeal to it. The pink hue gives you a feel-good vibe that can be pretty addicting if you are an avid Instagram user. While some distillers use natural ingredients to add the colour to their liquor, some use additives. If you are one of the consumers who like rosé wine for its pinkish colour, you should try one of these pink liquors next!
1. Gordon’s Pink Gin
Gordon’s Premium Pink Distilled Gin uses only natural fruit flavours to add a pink hue to the spirit. The gin is inspired by an original Gordon’s recipe from the 1880s, using raspberries, strawberries and redcurrants to offer a balanced refreshing taste to it. The natural sweetness of the berries ensures a high-quality berry taste in every sip of the gin. It is bottled at 37.5% ABV and is available for purchase at online retail shops.
