Exploding on the catwalk and nudging its way into our interiors since spring, it will come as no surprise that this year’s love affair with millennial pink has made its way into our drinks cabinets, and is firmly here to stay. In light of the spirit’s recent resurgence, makers of the nation’s favourite gin have created their most aesthetically pleasing blend yet – and, you’ve guessed it, it’s pink.

Distilled with the sweetness of strawberries, raspberries and redcurrants, Gordon’s Premium Pink has subtler notes of juniper and botanicals than that of original Gordon’s London Dry, and has a delicate, elegant pink hue. With the festive season fast approaching, we teamed up with Gordon’s and crafted this quartet of gin cocktail brilliance. Finest glassware at the ready – let the alchemy commence.
