With Valentine’s Day coming up, I’ve teamed up with Mermaid Gin to bring you a full review and giveaway of a bottle of their finest pink gin!
Before we start my review, I am by no means, a gin connoisseur. I have only recently started getting on the gin hype, but slowly but surely I'm finding my gin feet. I am one of *those* who realised it's actually the tonic that I don't like, with lemonade, I love a gin! I do realise for those who are gin purists, my act of mixing it with lemonade is satanical but there we go.
Back to Mermaid Gin! The Mermaid Pink Gin, is a strawberry infused gin with lemon zest, grains of paradise and rock samphire (otherwise known as Mermaid’s Kiss!). There's no added sugar either! The gin itself is distilled locally (to me) on the Isle of Wight, so it truly is a quintessentially British product. I think it's also important to note that the gin is fully Vegan and gluten free!
Not only is Mermaid Pink Gin a fabulous gin, but the bottle itself is plastic-free and 100% recyclable. The distillery has worked hard to eliminate plastic and bubble wrap, plus plastic sealing tap from its production processes. A great gin, with less harm to our land and oceans which has got to be a good thing, right?
I have to say... of all the pink gins that I have tried, I think Mermaid Pink Gin my favourite so far! It's really refreshing and also really subtle. It's not like, BAM, in your face, I am a gin. I chose to mix it with frozen fruit (my top tip to avoid using ice cubes and avoid watering down your gin!) and lemonade and it honestly just gave me all of the summery feels.
I'd definitely recommend it, for the taste! It has a slightly bigger price tag than your average bottle of Gordon's, coming in a £40, however, I do think it's worth it! You can buy your own bottle at Marks and Spencers. Orrrrr, why not pop over to my Instagram where I'm holding a giveaway to win your very own 70cl bottle of Mermaid Pink Gin? Just click here.
Have you tried Mermaid Pink Gin before? I'd love to know your thoughts!
XOXO Molly
PS. Please note, Mermaid Gin have sent me this bottle, and provided the prize for the giveaway, free of charge. However, all thoughts and views are my own honest opinions.
