Sevillian Strawberry Gin Brings a Taste of Warmer Climates to the UK

Taste the original strawberry gin and experience true unconventionality. It’s not pink, it’s Puerto.

With summer sweeping past us here in the UK, it’s time to start adding some Spanish weather and flavour to your life with the sumptuous strawberry gin from Sevillian distiller, Puerto de Indias.

In recent times, the popularity of pink gin in the UK has gone through the roof, becoming a favourite of bartenders and gin fans alike. And the arrival of Spanish favourite Puerto de Indias strawberry gin will take the standard of pink gin to the next level.

From the very beginning, the story of Puerto de Indias is an unconventional one. Founded by brothers Jose Antonio and Francisco Rodriguez Fernandez after they spotted the wild Huelva strawberries growing near the distillery, the founders set about making a strawberry liqueur. But their curiosity dared them to mix distilled, macerated strawberries with gin…and the iconic, distinctive and delicious Puerto de Indias was born.

Taking inspiration from the explorers and pioneers of its hometown of Seville – its name translates as ‘Port to the Americas’ – the brands’ founders coupled original copper stills dating from 1880 with a drive for innovation, and a relentless desire to challenge the ‘known’.

Margaux Maupate, Brand Manager for Puerto de Indias, says: “Puerto de Indias Strawberry Gin has always been about sailing through conventions and breaking down the barriers of gin as we know it. As the first and bestselling strawberry gin in the world, it was about time we started challenging conventions in the UK, as gin is quite literally on everyone’s lips!

“At Puerto de Indias, we have a rich heritage and are proud of our innovative approach to making gin, marrying traditional customs of distillation with modern techniques. We believe that passion shines through in our finished product, setting us apart from the competition. We can’t wait to hear what our UK customers make of our newest gin!”

The perfect serve for Puerto de Indias Strawberry Gin is over ice, garnished with fresh strawberry slices and a wedge of lime, topped up with premium tonic water. For a more unconventional twist, partner your Puerto with soda water, a sprig of mint, and a cinnamon stick.

Puerto de Indias has an ABV of 37.5% per 70cl bottle, available at RRP of £24.24 (approximately) and can be purchased here.

About Puerto de Indias

Puerto de Indias was born of an entrepreneurial family with a vision for their naturally distilled gins. The gin’s birthplace, the Carmona distillery, dates back to 1880, and the brand is extremely proud of its Sevillian roots.

Puerto de Indias relates to the discovery of America when 16th century Seville was a main port for trade between Europe and the “New World”, and became known as Puerto de Indias, a place of splendour and adventure.
