Latin Lover Gin brings strawberry and rose petals together with Italian juniper in a softly fruit-led pink gin. Raspberry leaf and hibiscus add further botanical detail, while the tasting profile includes a gentle citrus note. Bottled at 37.5% ABV, it is made in Italy by Torino Distillati for Latin Gin. Its lower strength than Latin Beach and Latin Secco gives this bottle a distinct place in the range, while the juniper keeps it recognisably within the world of gin.

Citrus · Floral · Fruity

The first impression is led by ripe strawberry and the fragrant lift of rose. They give the nose a clear fruit-and-flower character without requiring a long list of imagined aromas. Juniper remains present in the background, lending a familiar resinous note; soft citrus brings freshness, while raspberry leaf and hibiscus add further botanical detail. The result is rounded and approachable, with the fruit kept in balance by the dry, aromatic side of the recipe.

Latin Lover is produced at a family-owned Italian distillery whose history spans more than a century. The range is made using vacuum distillation, a lower-temperature method that helps preserve delicate botanical aromas. This method suits a recipe built around fragrant petals and fruit: strawberry and rose stay gentle and clearly defined, without a heavy sweetness. Strawberry and rose lead the tasting, joined by soft juniper and citrus before a delicate finish.

At the table, serve it cold over plenty of clear ice with a neutral Indian tonic, allowing the strawberry and rose to stay in view rather than adding another strong flavour. A fresh strawberry slice and a single edible rose petal make a restrained garnish; their familiar aromas echo the botanicals without turning the drink into a sweet dessert. Latin Gin also presents Latin Lover as a base for relaxed spritzes and cocktails with sparkling wine or rose lemonade. In a gin and tonic, however, a measured pour and a clean, dry mixer give the juniper and floral notes room to show through.
