Waterloo Prickly Pear & Rose Gin
47% ABV (94 proof) | 750mL | Prickly pear, hibiscus & rose gin | Texas — Waterloo Prickly Pear & Rose Gin builds on the brand's traditional juniper, lavender, and grapefruit base with prickly pear, hibiscus, and rose — a bright, fruity, floral gin from Treaty Oak Distilling in Dripping Springs, Texas, added to the core range in 2025. Wine Enthusiast, 88 points, Best Buy. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
It's a pink elixir in the glass: prickly pear fruitiness and hibiscus floral up front, rose petal through the middle, the classic juniper backbone underneath with lavender and grapefruit notes keeping it honest. Light, bright, and floral without tipping into sweet. Among flavored gins, this is the one that still tastes like gin — built for a stunning G&T or a floral French 75.
