# Gin-Soaked Raspberry Spirits The Pinkster Royale Spirit Spices Up Cocktails and Wines By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2018-05-22 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinkster-royale References: [foodbev](https://www.foodbev.com/news/pinkster-unveils-raspberry-spirit-made-product-gin/) & [pinkstergin](https://www.pinkstergin.com) The Pinkster Royale raspberry spirit has been unveiled by the Ginmeister-owned brand as a new libation for consumers that will offer them a different way to enjoy their favorite cocktails and wines. The spirit is crafted from [gin-soaked raspberries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penrhos-gin-liqueurs) that have been recycled after use in the production of other libations. This makes it perfect for adding into your favorite cocktails to up the flavor level or even as a solution that will make [sparkling wine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gordons-spritz-edition) more complex and ideal for enjoyment during the summer season. Speaking on the new Pinkster Royale, Managing Director Stephen Marsh, said, "At a time when [pink spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grey-goose-berry-rouge) are all the rage, we’re quick to champion the fact that our botanicals include raspberries, real ones, the ones that grow on bushes. As a pink pioneer, our view is that it’s the flavor not the color that matters. The Pinkster Royale launch just reinforces that we’re an innovative, premium brand dealing in fresh fruit." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Recycled Ingredients:** Opportunity for distilleries and beverage companies to use recycled ingredients to create unique and sustainable spirits. - **Flavor Enhancement:** Potential for mixologists and bartenders to experiment with flavored spirits and elevate the taste profiles of cocktails. - **Premium Fruit-based Spirits:** A growing market for premium spirits made from real fruit, offering consumers a more authentic and natural drinking experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Distilleries:** Distilleries can explore using recycled ingredients in their production process to tap into the demand for sustainable spirits. - **Beverage Industry:** The beverage industry can incorporate flavored spirits like Pinkster Royale to create innovative and enticing cocktail offerings. - **Craft Cocktail Bars:** Craft cocktail bars can showcase premium fruit-based spirits to attract discerning consumers who appreciate unique and high-quality ingredients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fruity Pinkish Gin Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burleighs-raspberry-edition-gin.md) - [Royal Raspberry Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coronation-gin.md) - [Pinkish Non-Alcoholic Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gordons-premium-pink-00.md) - [Fruity Eye-Catching Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beefeater-rhubarb-cranberry.md) - [Blue Raspberry Gin Lemonades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gin-limonade-framboise-bleue.md) - [Raspberry-Flavored Premium Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spar-2.md) - [Tropical British Gin Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gordons-tropical-passionfruit-gin.md) - [Rosy Spirit Canned Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lanique-spirit-of-rose.md) - [Wine-Inspired Gin Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinot-noir-gin.md)
