First Impressions
Tarquin's Pink Lemon, Grapefruit & Peppercorn is a limited edition at the higher 42% ABV — more backbone than the 38% fruit-forward range. Pink lemon and grapefruit bring citrus brightness while pink and black peppercorns add exotic spice. No added sugar, with the rosé blush coming naturally from the fruit.
Tasting
The nose delivers pink grapefruit, fragrant white pepper and wild lemons. On the palate, fresh juniper with zippy grapefruit and a bite of exotic pepper — citrus forward with warming peppercorn spice, naturally sweet without added sugar. The finish offers red fruits with sophisticated softness.
The Bottom Line
Tarquin's Pink Lemon earns a 7 for a citrus-spice combination that feels grown-up. The peppercorn adds genuine complexity beyond simple fruit flavouring, and at 42% it has mixing authority that lighter fruit gins lack. The no-added-sugar commitment ensures clean, honest flavours.
