Crafted 852 has recently launched the brilliantly coloured Pinkster Gin in Hong Kong, and to celebrate, they have partnered with Duddell's to create an exclusive cocktail whose proceeds go towards fighting breast cancer
After a busy work week, keeping up with our fitness regimen and shopping the latest fashion trends in Hong Kong, there’s nothing we like more than kicking off our shoes and pouring a tasty drink. So we were excited to attend the launch of Pinkster Gin with Crafted 852 this week. Held at Duddell’s, we also got to try the beautiful cocktail that they have created in aid of breast cancer for the month of October.
Crafted 852 brings Pinkster Gin to Hong Kong
Available exclusively through Crafted 852 – an online pantry for food lovers – Pinkster Gin has officially launched in Hong Kong. Created in rural Cambridge, the unique gin has a stunning pink tint that is derived naturally from the raspberries that are used to make it and the bottle looks absolutely stunning.
Exclusive cocktail to support Breast Cancer
In celebration of the launch, Crafted 852 has partnered with two-Michelin-starred Duddell’s to create an exclusive cocktail that is made with Pinkster Gin. For each 麻央 Mao cocktail sold in October, $10 of the profits will go to the Hong Kong Cancer Fund’s Pink Revolution – it’s pretty much the perfect match.
The brainchild of renowned Tokyo mixologist Masumi Tomioka, who has recently taken over the Duddell’s bar, the 麻央 Mao features sakura liqueur, elderflower tonic, pomegranate juice, fresh holy basil and – of course – lashings of Pinkster Gin (and we can confirm that it’s delicious.)
Named for a pioneering journalist in Japan who created a candid and open dialogue around her struggle with breast cancer until her death, the creative tipple is a true homage to strong and fearless woman, and we think that’s pretty great.
