IBZ Pink Strawberry

Strawberry gives IBZ Pink Strawberry its soft fruit character, while citrus and juniper keep the profile fresh and structured. Produced in Ibiza and bottled at 37.5% ABV, it combines juniper berries, strawberries and citrus fruits in a distilled ginDistilled ginGin made by redistilling neutral spirit with juniper and other botanicals. Unlike London Dry, flavourings may be added after distillation.GlossarySee Distilled gin gins intended to be the mildest and most refreshing member of the IBZ family. The recipe remains compact: strawberry supplies the central fruit, citrus gives brightness and juniper keeps the drink anchored in gin rather than allowing it to drift toward a simple berry spirit.

Citrus · Fruity

The aroma begins with ripe strawberry, closer to freshly cut fruit than to boiled sweets. Citrus follows with a clean peel-like freshness that lightens the berry and gives the bouquet more movement. Juniper sits underneath with a dry, lightly resinousResinousAn aroma reminiscent of pine or fir resin. It is juniper's signature, due to compounds such as pinene.Glossary line. The three elements are easy to follow because none is buried beneath heavy spice or an elaborate botanical list. A gentle floral impression comes naturally from the strawberry, while the lower bottling strength keeps the nose soft and approachable.

On the palate, strawberry gives the opening a rounded fruit texture, then citrus adds a lively edge through the middle. Juniper restores dryness as the first sweetness of aroma begins to fade. The 37.5% strength favours an easy, refreshing progression, but the finish retains enough peel and berry skin to avoid a syrupy sensation. Served very cold, the gin becomes especially clean and works well as an uncomplicated aperitif. The key is to use a tonic with little sugar and a garnish that supports the fruit without multiplying it.
