cancelCons
- As a wine person, I was a bit hesitant to try a strong spirit like gin.
- The smell can be a bit overpowering at first, but it's not a deal-breaker.
- I wish the manufacturer had included more information about the ingredients and production process.
- The bottle is a bit heavy and awkward to hold, but that's a minor complaint.
- I'm not a fan of the fact that the bottle is made of glass - it's a bit delicate and prone to breakage.

Appearance.
The packaging is seriously impressive, with bright and vibrant colors that catch your eye right away. The elongated top of the bottle is actually a container for the "miraculous drink".
The label on the glass is informative, including a recipe for a cocktail with tonic.
Cocktail recipeThe label comes off, and inside, I find this glass with an unexpected design – I was expecting the baboon to be featured on the bottle only.Cocktail glassI was surprised by the description of the glass – it's for adults!Alcoholic cocktail recipeThe baboon is everywhere on the bottle, even on the cap. During preparation and unpacking, I got a lot of positive emotions and laughter from the unique design.There's a tax stamp, stuck on upside down – intentionally or by mistake, it's a mystery.
Strong alcoholic drinkBeluga Green Baboon Pink GinThe bottle is certainly original, but what interests me is the composition. It's got a good mix of herbs, fruits, and roots, but the raspberry flavoring raises some doubts about its benefits. Although, what benefits can you really expect from alcohol?
Gin compositionDrinking water, rectified ethyl alcohol from food-grade raw materials, Lux, aromatic spirit of gin (juniper berries, ginger root, coriander, peppermint, fennel, honeysuckle berries, birch leaves, heather, marigold, raspberry leaves, rosemary leaves, rose petals, celery root), natural food flavor Malina type T116944, complex food additive: E120 natural colorant Carmine AR 8102.
The gin has a light pink color, and the bright pink hues in the bottle, as it turns out, are due to the colored glass at the bottom.
The smell is impressive, a natural bouquet with juniper and raspberry notes, the spirit doesn't hit you in the face, although it's 40% ABV. So, there's a restriction on consumption for certain categories of people, including pregnant women.
Experience of use.I'm not a fan of gin, I prefer wine and that's rare, so we decided to dilute it with a tonic we bought specifically for this purpose.
Gin with tonicThe design of the glass was a bit of a turn-off for me, but for the first time, I decided to try the gin in it.
Gin Beluga Green Baboon Pink reviewsFrom the suggested cocktail preparation method, we applied the second and third points. I don't add ice to my drinks, I'm not a fan of cold, and I have a sensitive throat. Decorating the glass with a lemon wedge is pointless in my opinion, it's beautiful just the way it is.
We didn't use a measuring cup, as they say, we just poured it by eye, starting with the gin.Gin reviewsThen we added tonic in a 1:3 ratio. It's recommended to consume this drink with seafood, white meat, salads. I also enjoy pairing it with cheese or fruits.Gin for cocktailsIt's very pleasant to drink the cocktail, first of all, the amazing aroma, I love smells like that, I brew different teas with herbs and berries, grown in the garden or picked in the woods or meadows on sunny summer days. It evokes positive emotions, I love the smell of juniper, and even the raspberry here doesn't feel artificial, although it's added as a flavoring.
BelugaI was really impressed by how the color of the Beluga gin changes when you mix it with tonic - it becomes a lot lighter and more wine-like. The taste and aroma are equally appealing, with a smooth, easy-drinking quality that's not too harsh on the palate. You can really savor the flavor with each sip without needing to add anything else.
The level of intoxication is pretty mild, but it's definitely a mood-booster. And the best part? There's no hangover the next morning - unless you overdo it, of course. I've found that two or three servings are my limit.
Gin and tonic reviewsAfter trying it for the first time, I decided to make the Beluga gin my go-to drink - it's just too delicious, especially with a hint of raspberry flavor. And at 40 degrees, it's perfect for my husband to enjoy without overpowering the taste.
The next time I served it, I switched to a more elegant glass, and it really made a difference - it's even more enjoyable to drink from a proper glassware.
I sometimes use the glass for other drinks, like juice or compote - it's really convenient and easy to clean.
Results.I really enjoy the Beluga gin for its taste, aroma, and lack of hangover the next morning. The natural ingredients and unique design make it a great gift idea. Plus, it's perfect for any time of year - whether you're drinking with friends or on your own, it's always a pleasure.
