PINK GIN on Discovery 2 ?

[oscarshep]

Hi,

 

My other half would like to know if pink gin is available on the AI on Discovery 2. We are sailing in July. Please, please someone tell me yes LOL

Not according to a long thread on this subject (on a different Marella D2 forum) a couple of weeks ago.

The Gins are listed and none are "pink" (thankfully !)

If you want 'pink' gin just take one of those squirty fruit juice concentrates and squirt the flavour of your choice in the glass

That’s amazing Dave, I was thinking exactly the same thing an hour ago when I first saw this post.😯

 

as a  non gin drinker does pink gin taste any different to clear gin?

pink gin does taste different from clear gin

Agree it does taste different - but not for the better IMO; far prefer the sharp, crisp taste of a 'normal' gin.  Shame that your other half can't get what she likes though - I did see a post recently saying you could buy flavouring drops for gin on the TUI flight out to your cruise or cheaper/better ones e.g. rhubarb or violet flavour online.

Yes it's flavoured (over and above normal gin botanicals) hence the pink colour - rotten stuff imo but each to their own

We are going on discovery 2 end of June and I bought the flavourings from amazon for my sons girlfriend who likes flavoured gin, when I showed them at the weekend thinking that I had found a great solution they said that it would look suspicious someone putting a few drops from a bottle into a drink. When you think of it I suppose they are correct so not taking them and they will just have to sample them at home ( oh well the thought was there.)

Thank you for the constructive replies.

I read the others too 😜

It's a fad along with the enormous bulbous wine glasses they pour them in - and charge an arm and a leg for. Three years ago you would never have seen them on sale I do like Fevertree tonics though who seem to have done a deal with every gin company going 🍷These glasses are for red wine only

Some have suggested a Raspberry Collins (a gin based cocktail) is just like pink gin. Not sure if it's still on the menu but it used to be.

[Vitalsign]

PS Do like rhubarb and ginger gin though - but Gordon's pink gin is like drinking cordial

[oscarshep]

Thank you Sheila 49

Raspberry Collins is sharper and not as sweet as pink gin & tonic as it's made with soda
