Fresh Summer Colourful Nature

Pink Moon es un cóctel floral y aromático que combina ginebra, licor de coco, licor de flor de saúco y jugo de pomelo. Como el nombre 'Pink Moon' familiar para los fans de Neil Young, este cóctel combina la dulzura tropical del licor de coco con la delicada fragancia floral del saúco para crear una bebida suave y fantástica. El color rosado y el aroma floral crean un ambiente romántico acorde con su nombre.

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.
