When is the best time of the year to use raspberries to make raspberry gin?

In the UK, raspberries are harvested between June and October (raspberry plants bloom from May to August), so British summertime is the best time to go and pick some gorgeous ripe raspberries or find them at your local market for this recipe.

To capture the fabulous flavour of raspberries at their best, we definitely recommend waiting for that window to make the gin.

Ingredients

• 70cl gin
• 200g fresh raspberries
• 100g caster sugar

Method

Combine the raspberries, gin and sugar in an airtight jar, close and shake well. Store in a cool, dark place for two weeks. Strain into your preferred empty gin bottle using a sieve or muslin cloth. Your pretty pink gin will be drinkable for up to a year.

What tonic goes best with raspberry gin?

Raspberry gin is a very versatile tipple and can work well with any premium tonic water, it also works great with soda water and ginger ale for those who don’t like the flavour of tonic.

We recommend trying your raspberry gin with a classic tonic water like Llanllyr Source Tonic Water and then experimenting with elderflower-flavoured tonic water to really take those summer flavours to the next level.
