Saint Sithney Cornish Pink Gin is a premium artisan spirit crafted on a historic coastal farmstead in Cornwall. Rather than being overly sweet and syrupy like many mainstream pink gins, Saint Sithney’s expression is designed to be “unexpectedly grown-up” and wildly elegant. Built upon the distillery’s classic, carefully distilled dry gin base, it is layered with real, natural fruit. The result is a vibrant, refreshingly crisp pink gin that captures the wild essence of the Cornish coast while striking a sophisticated balance between tart fruit and a true gin backbone.
Flavor Profile & Aroma
Aroma: Fragrant and enticing, offering an inviting bouquet of ripe raspberries and juicy pomegranate, lifted by soft floral notes reminiscent of a blossoming spring orchard.
Taste: Smooth and fruit-forward without being sugary. It features prominent layers of natural raspberry sweetness perfectly counterbalanced by the bright, tart snap of pomegranate. Crisp juniper provides clarity, while a gentle thread of spice adds underlying structure and depth.
Finish: Soft and lingering. The bright berry notes gradually give way to a delicate, spiced warmth and a clean, zesty citrus lift that leaves the palate highly refreshed.
Sustainability & Craftsmanship
Produced by the Richards family at the Saint Sithney Distillery, this pink gin champions natural craftsmanship. It gets its vibrant pink hue and authentic flavor exclusively from real pomegranates and raspberries—using absolutely no artificial flavorings. The distillery is deeply committed to mindful production, responsibly sourcing their botanicals and utilizing recyclable packaging to “tread lightly on the land.” The spirit itself is carefully distilled in small batches using their traditional copper pot still, which is affectionately named “Wendy.”
Recommended Pairings
The Perfect Serve: Pour generously over large ice cubes, top with a premium light tonic (like Navas Light Tonic), and garnish with a few fresh raspberries or a sprig of mint.
Spritzes & Cocktails: Highly versatile in mixology. It shines in a “Saint Sithney Rosé Spritz” (mixed with elderflower liqueur and topped with sparkling rosé) or an elegant “Pink Sunset Martini” (stirred with dry vermouth and a touch of raspberry liqueur).
Food Pairings: The gin’s clean, zesty nature beautifully complements Mediterranean flavors such as grilled chicken, mezze platters, or fresh Greek salads. For a sweet contrast, it pairs delightfully with a slice of lemon drizzle cake.
Saint Sithney Distillery was born out of a desire by founders Greville and Wendy Richards to bottle the enduring spirit of Cornwall’s ancient landscapes and timeless traditions. Following an extensive period of recipe development on their farmstead, they established a core lineup rooted in local wheat and pure Cornish water.
While their classic Cornish Dry Gin set the foundation, the Cornish Pink Gin was introduced to offer a fruit-forward option that still respected the craft of a traditional dry gin. Earning accolades for its high-quality distillation—including recognition at the prestigious London Spirits Competition—Saint Sithney continues to grow its reputation as a standout artisanal producer that honors Cornish heritage while embracing modern cocktail culture.

Place and memory are inherently interlinked throughout the cornish landscape. At Sithney, the ancient and the modern meld in the present, creating links to the past and a grounding in place and identity.
Named after Saint Sithney who came to Cornwall as one of a band of Irish missionaries. Legend states that God asked Sithney to be the patron saint of women seeking husbands, but Sithney retorted that he would never get any rest and so instead became the patron saint of mad dogs!
History is entrenched in every aspect of Sithney, even below the ground as the landscape is peppered with mines, some of which go back as far as Tudor times- the most renowned being the Great Wheal Fortune mine. Many generations of Cornishmen toiled in these pits, producing copper, zinc, arsenic, tungsten and tin. It is said that in the 1950s, a lone minor was seen to be working in the burrows, taking two sacks of Wolfram daily to the nearby village of Camborne to sell. And so, the wheel of fortune turns and, like the rotations of the hands of a clock, time has brought a new spirit of creativity and pride to the small parish – Saint Sithney Distilling co.
