How this product is made 

Botanicals: Mermaid Pink Gin is made using a base of classic gin botanicals, such as juniper, coriander, citrus peel, and others. Additionally, red fruits like strawberries and other botanicals are selected to impart a pink hue and fruity flavors.

Maceration: The chosen botanicals, including the red fruits, are macerated in a high-quality neutral spirit, allowing the flavors and colors to infuse into the liquid.

Distillation: After maceration, the infused spirit is distilled in traditional copper pot stills. The distillation process extracts the desired flavors and creates a smooth and flavorful gin.

Cut: The distiller carefully selects the best portion of the distillate, known as the “”heart”” cut, for bottling. This ensures that only the finest and most flavorful gin makes it into the final product.

Alcohol Content and Bottling: The gin is typically diluted to the desired alcohol by volume (ABV) using pure water, creating a balanced and approachable gin. Once the desired profile is achieved, the gin is bottled and prepared for distribution.
