First Impressions
Blushing Monkey from The Gin Kitchen blends their Gutsy Monkey Winter Gin with sweet black grapes. The magic is in the colour: initially translucent, adding tonic transforms it to pearlescent pink. Pour tonic first and add gin for a neon candyfloss cloud. Visual theatre with genuine flavour.
Tasting
Winter gin with black grapes. Botanical sweet nose. Fruity palate with grape, cassia, and ginger. Smooth warm finish.
The Bottom Line
Blushing Monkey earns a 6 — the colour-change is genuinely fun and the winter gin base provides real depth. At £57, premium pricing for the theatre and the taste.
