Manly Spirits Lilly Pilly Pink Gin
Manly Spirits Lilly Pilly Pink Gin is an 80-proof (40% ABV), 750mL zero-sugar Australian pink gin built around the native lilly pilly berry (a Syzygium species from Sydney's Northern Beaches coastal dunes), one of twelve botanicals including riberry, native limes, raspberry, blood orange, rosella, and sea fig. The pink hue comes from an all-natural 18-hour raspberry infusion after distillation — no artificial colors or flavors, no added sugar, gluten free. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

A Pink Gin With Nothing to Hide
Pink gin has a reputation problem — most of it is sugary, artificially colored, and barely gin at all. Lilly Pilly Pink Gin is the rebuttal: a zero-sugar recipe with a full twelve-botanical bill led by the Australian native lilly pilly berry (vibrant summer berries from the coastal dunes of Sydney's Northern Beaches), plus riberry, native limes, blood orange, and rosella. The pink comes only from an 18-hour raspberry infusion after distillation — no artificial colors, no artificial flavors, gluten free. Difford's Guide calls it "one of the better pink gins," and it's easy to see why: it drinks like a proper gin first and a pink gin second.
Tasting Notes
Vibrant summer berries — lilly pilly, raspberry, blood orange — over a real juniper backbone with coriander and angelica depth. Dry, not sweet: balanced and fresh with a gently floral, berry-forward finish.
How to Enjoy
In a pink G&T with a light tonic and fresh raspberries, or a Pink Negroni. Serve over plenty of ice — the dryness keeps it refreshing rather than cloying.
