Pink gin has been everywhere for the past 18 months and there are now loads of pink gins to choose from. But which is the best pink gin?

My BBC Weather app is telling me it’s going to be 37°C tomorrow in Tunbridge Wells! If that’s true, it’s time to refill those ice trays, get the tonic water in the fridge, and buy yourself a new bottle of pink gin.

Hendrick’s Gin is one of the most popular flavoured gins on the market. It gets its distinctive taste from the infusion of cucumber and rose to the gin after distillation.

But let’s be honest… Hendrick’s Gin is a bit middle-of-the-road. It’s nice, but you don’t hear anyone saying “wow” after drinking it. And at £28 it’s neither great value nor particularly exciting.
