Beef Eater Pink Gin Price Compare
Calling all Ladies, and of course us real men who only drink girly drinks anyway. It's PARTY TIME! I wanted to get this review post out to you all for the best pink Gin, hurrah I hear you cry (or slur). Which leads me nicely straight into a question for you girls.
Who the heck said that the ladies can have all the fun drinks? Unless my tipple has some fancy garnish, or is pink, lit up with fireworks, or at least has a glow-in-the-dark umbrella, it's just not fun.
A Brief History of Pink Gin
So how did Pink Gin come about? I am so glad you asked.
Pink Gin was thought to be initially concocted by the lovely folk serving with the Royal Navy in the mid to late 1800's. News of this fun and rather fashionable new bevvy went out to the bars and taverns in Portsmouth, London, and the rest of England.
Pink Gin contains Gin (go figure!) and Angostura bitters, citrus, berries, that give it its pink hue, and bittersweet flavour.
You can check out the full history of Pink Gin, or continue straight to the nitty gritty and find The Gin Geeks best Pink Gin that you might fancy trying.
7 Best Pink Gin's
Here we have the 7 best Pink Gins ready to doggedly fight it out to declare one winner. It's a bit like The Hunger Games but with Gin, and no annoying kids. These are in order of my preference, so without further ado, lets check out number 7 of this 'Top of the Pink Gin Charts'. -Such a catchy title.
07. Gordon's Premium Pink
- Price Range – £20 – £25
- Alcohol by Volume (ABV) – 37.5%
- Country – England
OK, in at number 7 is Gordon's Premium Pink. Tasted more like a strong strawberry Vodka than a Gin in my humble opinion. You can indeed taste the berries, although a tad strong considering its only 37.5% ABV, but hey, sometimes stronger is what you need. Still a great beverage to get you in the party mood.
The Bottle
Beautiful bottle, seductive colour, and excellent distillers heritage.
Botanicals
Juniper, raspberries and strawberries.
A bit of Trivia
Gordon's is still the worlds number one selling Gin distiller.
Best Served
Gordon's Premium Pink Gin with ice, a quality tonic water, plus some raspberries to garnish.

06. Gin Lane 1751 Victoria Pink
- Price Range – £20 – £25
- Alcohol by Volume (ABV) – 40%
- Country – London, England
The Gin
In at number 6, we have Gin Lane 1751 Victoria Pink Gin, it's a smooth and clean Gin with floral undertones, then finally a delicate hint of spice.
The Bottle
Of course the first thing you will notice is its not actually pink! (Well the Victorians did live in black and white so I guess so probably struggled with the concept of colour). Traditional Victorian style bottle complete with cork, and well designed label. Would make a great gift or simply bring along to a party.
Botanicals
Juniper, lemon peel, Seville orange peel, coriander, & anise.
A bit of Trivia
Produced by an 8th generation London distiller.
Best Served
Gin Lane 1751 Victoria Pink Gin with ice, tonic water, a couple of strawberries, and perhaps a dash of Prosecco.

05. Rives Premium Pink Gin
- P rice Range – £25 – £30

The Gin
Rives comes in at number 5 and they certainly have produced a extremely high quality handmade strawberry flavoured Gin. Selecting the best strawberries from the Spanish port of Huelva for sublime freshness. As with all Pink Gin's, this is a fabulous and fun drink well suited for the summer, or parties, (or summer parties!).
The Bottle
Sedate bottle with lovely pink hue.
Botanicals
Juniper Berries, Strawberry
A bit of Trivia
You can add a dash of Prosecco if you are feeling very, very naughty.

04. Manchester Raspberry Infused Gin
- Price Range – £20 – £25
- Alcohol by Volume (ABV) – 37.5%
- Country – England
The Gin
Number 4 is a marvelous gin that is clean and concise. Initially you experience a light juniper, followed by both citrus zest and raspberry, with a hint of the dandelion & burdock.
The Bottle
My favourite bottle design, ooses understated class. If this bottle was a Hollywood star would be George Clooney (now, not when he was in ER) or Audrey Hepburn.
Botanicals

A bit of Trivia
The Bee (seen on the bottle) is a symbol of Manchester during the Industrial Revolution as it embodied the work-ethic of Mancunians.

03. Edgerton Original Pink Gin

- Price Range – £25 – £30
- Alcohol by Volume (ABV) – 40%
- Country – England
The Gin
In 2nd place is this magnificent pale pink crisp and zesty premium pink Gin from Chase. So smooth you could drink it neat. (Heck to that though, if I am drinking Pink Gin I want a quality tonic, fancy garnish, and possibly a miniature umbrella thrown in).
The Bottle
Discreet squat bottle with delicate use of the labeling, which is both classy and timeless.
Botanicals
Juniper, Grapefruit, Pomelo, orange peel, liquorice, elderflower and bitter almond

01. Gin 1689 Dutch Pink Gin
- Price Range – £35 – £40
- Alcohol by Volume (ABV) – 38.5%
- Country – Netherlands
The Gin
In 1st place, and deservedly so, is this fabulous Queen Mary Edition of pink gin from Gin 1689. This modern tasting gin interestingly follows a 350 year old recipe of 'The distiller of London'
This Dutch pink gin opens with sweet strawberry raspberry. Mid-palate reveals crisp juniper, apple and sweet quince, followed by zesty lemon and orange. The finish is long and slightly spiced with aniseed and hints of cloves and nutmeg.
The Bottle
Presentation is excellent. The glass of the deep red bottle has an almost a sand-blasted feel. The eye-catching 1689 numbering written on the front really stands out, and the gold coloured cap and cork stopper is a lovely finishing touch.
Botanicals
Juniper, Quince, Pippin, Lemon, Orange, Nutmeg, Aniseed, Cloves. After distillation strawberry and raspberry are then added.
A Bit of Trivia
Not only is this the best pink gin on our list, it's also the first ever Dutch Pink Gin. Named after the wife of King William of Orange III, Gin 1689's Queen Mary Edition was launched in 2020.
Best Served
