Pink Lady apple, watermelon, strawberry, rhubarb, pomegranate, pink grapefruit and juniper define the 2026 recipe from Granddad Jack's, bottled at 37.5% ABV. The fruit combination gives the gin its fresh, vivid character, while pomegranate provides its natural pink colour. It is a fruit-led gin, but the inclusion of juniper keeps the profile connected to the classic botanical base rather than treating the drink as a sweet fruit spirit.

Apple and watermelon bring a soft, juicy dimension, while strawberry and rhubarb introduce a brighter red-fruit contrast. Pomegranate adds depth and colour, and pink grapefruit gives the blend a sharper citrus edge that helps lift the sweeter fruit. Juniper forms the counterpoint, bringing a drier, resinous note beneath the fruit. The distillery releases Pink on Pink as a seasonal product, so the 2026 bottling is a defined edition with its own annual fruit balance rather than a permanent flavouring profile.

The aroma leads with fresh red fruit and citrus, followed by a quieter juniper note.

On the palate, the fruit is immediate but supported by rhubarb's tartness and grapefruit's bitter-citrus quality. At 37.5% ABV, the gin is approachable in a long drink and does not require a complicated build. Serve it cold and use a tonic that reinforces the citrus without adding a heavy sugary layer; the fruit should remain bright and the juniper still perceptible.

For a balanced G&T, pour 4.5 cl over plenty of ice, top with 12 cl Fever-Tree Citrus Tonic Water and garnish with a fresh strawberry and a small strip of pink grapefruit peel. Its citrus notes complement the grapefruit while keeping the fruit clear. Add the tonic gently and taste before adding anything else. Pink on Pink also works with soda for a lighter, less bitter highball, but avoid extra syrup because apple, watermelon and berries already give the profile a rounded fruit impression.
