]]> Look at the colour when making grapefruit gin
Love this, the blue of the juniper berries that make the gin shows up against the pink grapefruit – amazing.

I’ve been dying to make Pink Grapefruit Gin, I think the colour would be attractive and relate completely to the flavour – Pink Grapefruit is a real treat just as grapefruit.

As with all our Gin recipes, you need to sterilise everything thoroughly, I mean it – don’t piss about here, you could be wasting good Gin.

This is easy to prep and nurture.

How do you make Pink Grapefruit Gin | National Dish Recipe
So, we're not actually distilling the Gin, we're infusing it with other flavours. What you need is a good Gin, a 1ltr Kilner jar, the fruit itself, some sugar, a clean mind and patience.
Servings1 Litre
Prep Time30 Mins
Passive Time3 Months
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. First, we need to sterilise. Boil the kettle and immerse the Kilner jar and lid in boiling water for about 10 minutes, then remove to cool. Don't touch the rim or inside of the lid - NO BACTERIA ALLOWED.
  2. Peel the grapefruit, avoid any pith and slice into segments. Place in the jar along with all the sugar.
  3. Pour in the gin and then put the lid on an tighten. Give it a shake to help dissolve the sugar.
  4. Store in a cool dark cupboard for 3 months. In the first few days give it a gentle shake to make sure all the sugar dissolves.
  5. When ready, through a sterilised jam strainer (not sieve) drain the gin into a sterilised jug, and then transfer to a sterilised bottle or jar.
  6. That's it - it's gorgeous. If anyone want to suggest a Pink Grapefruit Gin recipe, let me know below or on social media. Enjoy!
