How to make raspberry gin at home:

For our homemade raspberry gin recipe, you only need three ingredients: fresh raspberries, gin and caster sugar.

It’s really that simple. And the result? A fruity gin where the juniper mixes beautifully with the sweetness of the fresh raspberries.

It makes the ultimate pink gin gift and it’s sure to impress your guests if you’re hosting a ginny get-together.

You can use raspberry gin to jazz up your favourite gin cocktails (we recommend trying raspberry gin in a Clover Club cocktail recipe!) or enjoy it in a simple G&T with lots of ice - see our amazing raspberry gin and tonic serving suggestion below. Some would say it’s the taste of summer!

When is the best time of the year to use raspberries to make raspberry gin?

In the UK, raspberries are harvested between June and October (raspberry plants bloom from May to August), so British summertime is the best time to go and pick some gorgeous ripe raspberries or find them at your local market for this recipe.

To capture the fabulous flavour of raspberries at their best, we definitely recommend waiting for that window to make the gin.

Homemade Raspberry Gin Recipe

Ingredients

  • 70cl gin
  • 200g fresh raspberries
  • 100g caster sugar

Method

Combine the raspberries, gin and sugar in an airtight jar, close and shake well. Store in a cool, dark place for two weeks. Strain into your preferred empty gin bottle using a sieve or muslin cloth. Your pretty pink gin will be drinkable for up to a year.

What tonic goes best with raspberry gin?

Raspberry gin is a very versatile tipple and can work well with any premium tonic water, it also works great with soda water and ginger ale for those who don’t like the flavour of tonic.

We recommend trying your raspberry gin with a classic tonic water like Llanllyr Source Tonic Water and then experimenting with elderflower-flavoured tonic water to really take those summer flavours to the next level.
