25 Botanicals in The Pink One – 8 Months in the Making

25 Botanicals in The Pink One – 8 Months in the Making

A Modern Pink Gin, Reimagined

Pink gin has come a long way. Often associated with overly sweet, fruit-forward styles, it’s a category that’s been shaped more by colour than craftsmanship.

At Organic Bay Distillery, we took a different approach. The Pink One is our interpretation of what a pink gin should be — dry, structured, and built on a foundation of certified organic botanicals. It’s vibrant in appearance, but refined in taste. A gin that looks modern, but drinks like a classic.

Built on 25 Certified Organic Botanicals

At the heart of The Pink One is a carefully considered blend of 25 botanicals, each selected to contribute depth, balance, and character.

It starts with the essentials:

  • Organic Juniper – the backbone of any true gin
  • Coriander Seed – adding citrus lift and gentle spice

From there, the profile evolves into something more layered and expressive:

  • Sarsaparilla Root – delivering earthy richness and depth
  • Angelica Root – grounding the spirit with structure and dryness
  • Sumac Berry – introducing a subtle tartness and brightness

To bring a modern twist, we introduce delicate fruit notes:

  • Organic Raspberry & Strawberry – soft, natural fruit character without sweetness

And to finish:

  • Organic Red Vanilla Chai – a gentle warmth that rounds out the palate without overpowering the dry finish

The result is a botanical profile that feels balanced, intentional, and complex — not dominated by any single note.

8 Months of Refinement

Great spirits take time. The Pink One was developed over eight months, with continuous testing and refinement to achieve the right balance between:

  • Aroma
  • Mouthfeel
  • Finish

Every adjustment was deliberate — from botanical ratios to distillation timing — ensuring that the final spirit delivered both clarity and character.

This wasn’t about creating a pink gin quickly.
It was about creating one properly.

A Dry Pink Gin – By Design

Unlike many pink gins on the market, The Pink One is genuinely dry. There’s no added sugar to drive flavour. No artificial sweetness to mask imbalance.

Instead, the focus is on:

  • Clean structure
  • Botanical clarity
  • A refined, dry finish

It’s a gin that can be enjoyed in a classic G&T, a Martini, or simply over ice — without overwhelming the palate.

How We Achieve the Signature Pink Hue

One of the most common misconceptions about pink gin is that colour equals flavour. For The Pink One, we’ve separated the two.

The spirit itself is distilled crystal clear, preserving the integrity and precision of the botanical profile. The blush tone is then introduced post-distillation using a natural pink hue.

This approach allows us to:

  • Maintain a clean, dry flavour profile
  • Avoid interference with the distillation process
  • Deliver a consistent, vibrant appearance

It’s a deliberate choice — prioritising taste first, aesthetics second.

The Result: Bold, Elegant, and Balanced

The Pink One is designed to stand apart. It’s:

  • Bold in appearance
  • Elegant in structure
  • Balanced in flavour

A pink gin that doesn’t rely on sweetness, but instead showcases the depth and complexity of carefully selected organic botanicals.
