Gin de Cologne Rosé Gift Box 500 ml. Gin gift box with fruity Rosé Gin, 15 botanicals, 42% ABV – in a presentation box with a Cologne motif.

Gin de Cologne Rosé Gift Box 500 ml is a gin gift box from Cologne: a 500 ml bottle of Gin de Cologne Rosé, refined with raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries, 15 botanicals, 42% ABV, in a presentation box with a Cologne motif. Mild, berry-fruity, and refreshing. Contains coloring.

A Rosé gift box is a fruity gin that comes pre-wrapped as a gift. This box contains the large 500 ml bottle of Gin de Cologne Rosé, packed in a presentation box with a Cologne motif. The manufacturer calls it a “GIN-genious gift idea.” The box combines bottle and packaging in one, so you don't need to buy anything else. The gin has 42% ABV; legally, a gin must have at least 37.5% ABV.

Taste: berry-fruity, mild, and summery

The Rosé is zesty with lime, mild, refreshing, and summery, according to the manufacturer, with a berry-fruity side from raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries. In total, the gin features 15 botanicals. It is based on the Gin de Cologne, whose botanicals include lemon, orange, and lime peels, lavender and hibiscus flowers, and juniper.

The manufacturer also describes it as subtle. The berries complement the citrus gin without taking center stage. With 42% ABV, the gin remains prominent in a long drink.

For transparency, we must include the note: contains coloring. It is listed here before purchase so you know what is in the box.

Usage: the manufacturer's summer drink with a berry garnish

The manufacturer's recipe: 4 cl Rosé, 16 cl Mediterranean tonic water, berry garnish, and three ice cubes. This is a 1:4 ratio. Add ice and gin to the glass, slowly pour in the tonic, and top with the berries. 500 ml makes about twelve drinks. If giving the box as a gift, you can include two tonics and a bowl of berries, and the first drink will be ready in five minutes.

For guests, a Rosé Spritz is a great option: 4 cl gin, 10 cl dry sparkling wine, and a raspberry in a wine glass. With 42% ABV, the gin is intended only for adults 18 and older; therefore, the box is for legal-age adults.

The large bottle is practical for a weekend get-together. You set out ice, tonic, berries, and lemon slices on the table, and everyone mixes their own drink. In this way, the gift turns into a shared evening where everyone toasts with the same gin while still being able to choose their own garnish.

Our tip: Use frozen berries instead of ice cubes if you want to keep the drink especially cold. They don't melt and won't water down the gin.

Origin: the berry-flavored variety from Cologne-Ehrenfeld, packaged in a Cologne box

The Rosé is produced by Cologne Spirits GmbH in Cologne, at Bonner Straße 205. Abbass Khatami founded the company in 2017 after working for beverage brands in his advertising agency. Handcrafted distillation takes place in Cologne-Ehrenfeld. The Cologne motif on the presentation box shows its origin from the outside, meaning no additional wrapping paper is necessary.

Besides the Rosé with 15 botanicals, the brand offers the classic London Dry Gin with over 12 botanicals, the Orange Gin with over 13 botanicals, and the non-alcoholic Zero de Cologne. For on the go, they created 100 ml minis, which are explicitly intended as Cologne souvenirs.

For whom: Rosé fans, berry lovers, and people with a connection to Cologne

The box is for anyone looking for a gift with flair. It is perfect for birthdays, Mother's Day, housewarming parties, or as a thank-you for an invitation. Gin newcomers who prefer a mild, fruity gin will be just as pleased as those with a tie to Cologne. Without the box, the bottle is available as Gin de Cologne Rosé 500 ml, or to try, the Rosé Mini. Those who prefer classic gin can find the London Dry Gin. An overview of all the brand's products can be found on the Gin de Cologne page.

The box is not suitable as a gift for those who prefer a dry, tart gin or for those who avoid artificial coloring.
