As the weather begins to warm up again in Australia, it is time to bring out the gin cocktails to sip on as the flowers bloom. The versatility of gin makes it easy to enjoy in a wide variety of cocktails to suit the spring mood.
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.
Mirabeau’s Dry Rosé Gin is distilled in a beautiful unique gin bottle 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 the Rosé Negroni and Rosé Gin Martini.
Unlike others in the growing pink gin category, Mirabeau Dry Rosé Gin is a grape-based spirit, made from upcycled grape skins after they have been pressed during the winemaking process. The addition of its award-winning rosé adds a lovely roundness to the final blend.
The botanicals are evocative of the French Riviera and 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 number of gin lovers worldwide.
Try making a rosé gin cocktail to impress your friends at your next dinner party or to enjoy by yourself during the warmer seasons that we know and love:
