Frequently Asked Questions

What is pink gin?

"Pink gin" is a term that refers to gin that has been colored with a pink or red hue. The color is typically a result of infusing the gin with ingredients like strawberries, raspberries, or rose petals. Our recipe uses a high-quality pink gin infused with pink peppercorns and hibiscus to create a complex and aromatic base.

Can I make this cocktail without infusing the gin?

While we highly recommend the infusion process for a more complex flavor, you can still make a delicious version of this cocktail by using a high-quality pink gin on its own. The flavors from the El Guapo® mixers will still create a beautiful and aromatic drink.

What are the best types of gin for cocktails?

The best gin for cocktails depends on the specific recipe. For this recipe, a botanical gin that is clean and crisp is ideal. For a more traditional gin and tonic, a London Dry gin is perfect. For a more adventurous drink, a floral or spiced gin can provide a unique flavor profile.
