Sip on a rose gin cocktail

SIP ON A ROSÉ GIN COCKTAIL IN CELEBRATION OF WORLD GIN DAY 2022

With World Gin Day taking place on the 11 June, there's no time like the present to try a Rosé Gin cocktail to widen your gin palette. 

If you're new to gin but are partial to a Rosé, Mirabeau's Dry Rosé Gin is the perfect segway into this popular category of spirits.

Taking inspiration from the abundance of botanicals found along the French Riviera, Mirabeau's Dry Rosé Gin redefines the normally sugary pink gin category, with a dry, yet highly aromatic style.

Bottled in a beautiful unique gin bottle, Mirabeau's Dry Rosé Gin is distilled with a touch of its much-loved Rosé wine. It makes a delicious Mediterranean G&T and delectable cocktails, including pink versions of some of the classics, such as Rosé Negronis and Rosé Gin Martinis.

Unlike others in the growing pink gin category, Mirabeau has used grape spirit, made from upcycled grape skins after they have been pressed during the winemaking process, as its base. The addition of its award-winning Rosé as an element in the macerate of botanicals, confers a lovely roundness to the final blend. Botanical ingredients evocative of the French Riviera, add further aromatic layers, a delicious complexity and luxurious texture. The result is a pale pink gin, with a unique style, bringing a burst of aromas to captivate the increasing numbers of gin lovers worldwide.
