As pickleball continues its meteoric rise and the classic martini enjoys a stylish resurgence, the limited-edition Dink & Sip pickleball collection brings them together, blending courtside energy with cocktail-hour elegance. This special collection put together by global racquet sports and lifestyle brand Prince and The Botanist, The Official Gin of Pickleball, features a custom tote, a paddle, and balls with a 90s-inspired design.
With The Dink-Tini Set, pickleball lovers will find all the essentials for enjoying post-court cocktails in style during National Pickleball Month in April and beyond.
To mark this launch, The Botanist and Prince will be in New York and Los Angeles in March, offering consumers an exclusive preview of the collection and Botanist Dink-Tinis at Hell's Kitchen Pickleball Club and Santa Monica Pickleball Center.
