Raspberry and mango are infused into Tarquin's Cornish Gin after distillation, giving Tarquin's Raspberry & Mango Gin a bright fruit character while retaining the juniper-led base of the original recipe. This limited release is bottled at 38% ABV and comes from Southwestern Distillery in Cornwall, where the house style is built around small batches and a lively, aromatic gin profile. The two fruits are deliberately different: raspberry supplies tartness and red-fruit perfume, while mango brings a softer, sunlit roundness.

The nose is immediately fruity, but it should not be read as a syrupy flavoured spirit. Juniper remains underneath, joined by berry freshness and ripe mango aroma. On the palate, raspberry gives the sharper edge, keeping the mango from becoming too lush. Citrus in the base gin helps the profile stay lifted, and the lower strength makes the texture approachable for a long, relaxed serve. The finish is soft, fragrant and lightly tangy, with enough botanical presence to keep it recognisably gin.

This bottle is best understood as a summery variation on Tarquin's established Cornish style, not as a novelty flavour. It offers an easy entry point for drinkers who enjoy fruit-forward serves, yet it is more balanced than a simple raspberry liqueur or tropical mixer. The combination has a natural affinity with elderflower tonic, mint and ice, which bring freshness and length while allowing both fruits to stay identifiable.

The Perfect Serve follows that logic: elderflower tonic, clear ice, raspberries and a small mint sprig. Elderflower extends the floral side of raspberry without overwhelming it, and mint cools the mango's ripe character. Serve it in a large glass and avoid adding juice or syrup. The gin already supplies the fruit; the tonic should simply turn it into a vivid, refreshing highball.
