Pink Moon is a floral, aromatic cocktail that combines gin, coconut liqueur, elderflower cordial, and fresh lime juice, garnished with fresh blackberries. The elderflower cordial introduces a delicate white floral sweetness, while the coconut liqueur adds a tropical creaminess and the lime delivers a bright, clean acidity. It is an elegant, summer-oriented cocktail with a layered aromatic complexity.
History & Origins
Pink Moon is a contemporary craft cocktail of disputed origin that emerged in the 2010s as elderflower cordial became a staple ingredient in British and European cocktail culture following the success of St-Germain elderflower liqueur, introduced in 2007. Its name likely references Nick Drake's iconic 1972 folk album Pink Moon, evoking a romantic, pastoral quality in keeping with the drink's floral character. No single creator or venue is definitively credited.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Delicate white flowers from the elderflower, tropical coconut, fresh lime, and gin botanicals with a hint of dark berry from the blackberry garnish. Palate: Floral and aromatic with elderflower's characteristic musky sweetness supported by coconut liqueur's creaminess, gin providing a dry botanical structure, and lime cutting through with refreshing acidity. Finish: Clean and floral with a gentle coconut sweetness and a lingering citrus brightness.
Pro Tip
Add three or four fresh blackberries directly to the glass and press gently so they bleed slightly into the drink, adding a subtle berry dimension that complements the elderflower and coconut.
