Celebrity chef helps cook up latest flavour for independent gin distiller

Wirral gin brand, Tappers, has partnered with celebrity chef and Sunday Brunch presenter, Simon Rimmer to launch Tickled Pink.

It is described as a traditional compounded gin prepared with all-natural ingredients including Tappers’ signature botanicals with rose and hibiscus providing a delicate flavour in a subtle pink liquid.

Simon Rimmer is delighted with the result, saying: “Since joining the Tappers family in 2020 we’ve worked hard to create a pink gin that we all love.

“Inspired by our mutual passions for incredible ingredients and flavours, Tickled Pink Gin is made with Provence Red rose petals and hibiscus flowers.

“An all-natural rose hue reflects the traditional method of cold-compounding, lending a delicately sweet and floral flavour.”

Since 2016, The Tappers Gin family-run distillery says it has been reviving the art of gin at its seaside home on the Wirral Peninsula.

Founder, Steve Tapril, said he thoroughly enjoyed creating this pink edition with Simon: “It was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with Simon to produce this fantastic addition to the Tappers range.

“Simon shares our love for great ingredients and great flavour and so, of course, it’s only natural that Tickled Pink has both.”

Tickled Pink Gin by Simon Rimmer will launch this month. All Tappers Gin products are registered with The Vegan Society.
