Whitley Neill Pink Apricot Gin 70cl

Product Information

Herbs and spices like vanilla, thyme, lavender, mint, cardamom or chilli may only need a few hours steeping in the gin, whereas fruits, strongly flavoured vegetables and berries will probably be best left for a week or two, maybe even up to a month. Over the past few years, the gin range that is offered by Aldi has really made a name for itself in the industry, winning highly coveted awards and standing out amongst a crowd that is becoming more and more saturated. The Newest Expansion Out of all of the gins and gin liqueurs that we had the pleasure of trying, one caught our attention more than the rest did. It is quite easy to see why too, as the very sound of a gin liqueur that tastes like Tutti Frutti sweets sounds like something that most British people would want to try given the opportunity to. Didsbury Tutti Frutti Gin Add ice all the way to the top, and shake vigorously for 20 seconds to combine the liquids and aerate the eggs white into them. The truth of the matter is that Aldi’s gins really are as good as they sound, with many of them having won awards at prestigious events.

Sparkling wine: You can use any sparkling wine, but I'd recommend a prosecco or demi-sec champagne for sweetness.

For example, their Greyson’s Seville Orange & Persian Lime Gin took home the “Masters” title at the Spirits Business Gin Awards in 2019, yet it costs a fraction of the price that similar products do. Their Harrison’s Gin has previously taken home a gold medal, whilst their Passionfruit Gin Liqueur has taken home a silver one. The Infusionist Mystical Unicorn Gin Liqueur is charming, as it contains iridescent sparkles that light up any drink as soon as it is hit by sunlight. It also features the charming undertones of candyfloss and marshmallow, yet those sweet flavours are again balanced out by more traditional gin botanicals. The Infusionist Mystical Unicorn Gin Liqueur This certainly isn’t the first time that we have mentioned supermarket giant Aldi in our articles, and we highly doubt that it will be the last.

To make your homemade flavoured gin, take a sterilised (dry) jar or bottle and simply add your chosen fruit(s), herbs and/or spices to your gin and leave the mixture to infuse. It’s as easy as that! To turn it into a gin liqueur, simply add sugar. Beware of leaving it too long and over-infusing the mixture, though - in the same way that a cup of tea with the teabag left in too long can taste horrible, so too can flavoured gin! Aldi’s Didsbury Tutti Frutti Gin Liqueur is just as sweet as you would expect it to be, but it comes with a generous scattering of fruity undertones that really help to balance those sweet flavours. That balance is incredibly important when you are indulging in sweet gins, otherwise their flavours can simply be too overwhelming.

Review:

There’s something about apricot-flavored drinks that says you’re going to have a fun time every time.
