Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a flavored gin from Victoria Distillers in British Columbia, built on a grain base and bottled at 42.5% ABV (85 proof). Juniper still leads, so it drinks like gin first. Elderflower brings a soft sweetness, rose petals add a gentle floral layer, citrus brightens the middle, and the finish lingers with botanicals and a hint of spice. The real shelf-stopper is the color: butterfly pea blossom gives it a deep indigo hue that turns pink when tonic or citrus hits the glass. That makes it a natural pick for anyone who loves a floral gin and tonic, for hosts who want a drink with a little theater, and for gin fans curious about a softer, more aromatic style. It also works neat or on the rocks as an aperitif. We carry it because it delivers on both fronts: a balanced, refreshing botanical profile and a visual trick that stays fun every time you pour it.
Pairs well with
- Grapefruit and fennel salad — The gin's citrus and herbal notes echo the bright grapefruit and the anise-tinged crunch of fennel.
- Lemon shortbread cookies — Buttery, lemony shortbread picks up the elderflower sweetness and the faint baking spice on the finish.
- Spring garden party — The floral rose and elderflower profile and the pink color shift make it a natural centerpiece for an outdoor, flower-filled gathering.
