Mermaid Pink Gin – Isle of Wight’s Strawberry Sea Kiss
Get ready to uncork a bottle of coastal enchantment with Mermaid Pink Gin, a 700ml burst of aromatic, strawberry-kissed brilliance crafted by Isle of Wight Distillery in England, where the salty shores of the Solent meet a gin-making dream sparked in 2014 by founders Xavier Baker and Conrad Gauntlett. This isn’t just a drink—it’s a taste of the tide at 38% ABV, distilled with ten ethically sourced botanicals—juniper, lemon zest, grains of paradise, and wild-foraged rock samphire—then infused with fresh Arreton Valley strawberries for a spirit as lively as a Nairobi matatu weaving through traffic. Launched in 2019 as a vibrant twist on their award-winning Mermaid Gin, it’s a pink potion that’s swept across continents with its sculpted, scale-like bottle. Pour it out, and you’ll see a subtle rosy hue with a crystalline shimmer, teasing your senses with an aroma that’s a seaside strawberry patch—ripe strawberry sweetness and zesty citrus burst forth, laced with a briny samphire whisper, a spicy pepper hum, and a gentle juniper breeze, like a dusk wind over Karura Forest. Sip it, and it’s a flavor voyage: a juicy wave of strawberry and botanical freshness washes over your palate, balanced by a hint of sea air and a smooth, less-sweet finish that’s as refreshing as a Rift Valley sunrise.

What’s the secret behind Mermaid Pink Gin? It’s the island and the ethos. Starting with their signature gin—steeped overnight with rock samphire, dubbed “mermaid’s kiss” by locals for its cliffside perch—the strawberries are soaked for four days, then redistilled, crafting a balanced, sugar-free profile that’s snagged gold at the IWSC Awards. Known for its “vibrant strawberry zest with a coastal lift” per tasting notes, this gin shines with a light-to-medium body that’s made it a Nairobi hit via importers like Oaks & Corks, perfect neat or in a summery G&T. At 38% ABV, it’s a versatile siren—ideal chilled for a Westlands unwind, a braai companion at Uhuru Park where its fruitiness complements smoky meats, or a rooftop mixer where its zest cuts the heat. Serve it frosty at 4-6°C—with tonic and fresh strawberries, in a spritz with mint, or neat with a lime twist—and pair it with spicy nyama choma, where the strawberry tames the fire, grilled fish that loves its freshness, or light pastries that vibe with its floral edge. The 700ml bottle, with its tactile mermaid-scale design and plastic-free ethos (recyclable glass, cork stopper), is a British must—perfect for gifting to a gin lover, stashing for a spontaneous toast, or stocking your bar for those moments when you crave a taste of the Isle of Wight without leaving Nairobi. Mermaid Pink Gin isn’t just a gin—it’s a vibe, a sip of England’s coastal soul bottled up for Kenya’s flavor-craving crowd who live for drinks that shimmer with character. Enjoy it responsibly—this pink mermaid’s got a kick that sneaks up smooth.
