The Pinkster Story, or not the usual ingredients; ​
A kitchen table​
A frustrated accountant ​
A fruit bowl​
A bottle of Gin​
​
Perhaps more the ingredients for a game of Cluedo, but that’s how the business was born.​
It all came about when founder Stephen realised wine and beer no longer agreed with him. A keen forager and maker of sloe liqueurs and other concoctions, he turned his attention to gin and started experimenting at home, mashing assorted fruits with different spirit strengths. He wasn’t intentionally creating a pink drink, it’s just that after working his way through an entire fruit bowl, raspberry delivered the best flavour. ​
Over the intervening years, thirst for Pinkster has grown and from humble beginnings we’re now proud to be stocked by several thousand bars, hotels and restaurants the length and breadth of the UK, together with dozens of farm shops and food halls. Stephen still personally oversees the production, ensuring consistency from batch to batch of fresh fruit.​
