This tasty gin hails from the Old Curiosity Distillery in Edinburgh. Not only is it infused with festive flavours like ginger, cardamom and cinnamon, but it’s also kind of magical – it literally changes colour before your eyes from a deep Christmassy red to a soft pink, thanks to the inclusion of petals from the anthocyanin flower.
