Chase Pink Grapefruit Gin

Chase Pink Grapefruit Gin was created in Herefordshire as a citrus-led variation on the house gin style. Bottled at 40% ABV, it brings together the firm, dry outline of juniper with pink grapefruit, pomelo and lime peel. The fruit is integrated into the distillation rather than added as a sweet finish, so the result remains recognisably gin: bright and generous in its citrus character, yet structured enough to retain a clean botanical backbone.

Citrus · Dry · Fruity

Pink grapefruit provides the central aroma, combining juicy freshness with the gentle bitterness of the peel. Pomelo broadens that profile with a drier, more fragrant citrus tone, while lime peel adds a sharper lift. Juniper anchors the fruit with its familiar piney character. Their progression gives the gin more detail than a single-note grapefruit recipe: vivid zest at the opening, rounded citrus through the middle and a firmer, pleasantly bitter edge towards the finish.

The nose is immediate and fresh, led by pink grapefruit zest rather than confectionery sweetness.

On the palate, the citrus feels lively and full, with pomelo adding breadth and lime keeping the texture brisk. Juniper becomes clearer as the initial fruit recedes, restoring dryness and giving the finish definition. At 40% ABV the alcohol carries the oils from the peels without making the gin heavy, leaving a clean aftertaste in which grapefruit and juniper remain in balance.
