Floradora

The Floradora is a lively pink gin cocktail that balances bright lime with berry sweetness and a gentle ginger sparkle. Made with Humdinger Pink Gin, grenadine, fresh lime, and ginger ale, it’s refreshing, colourful, and effortless to make at home.

Flavour Profile

Crisp lime and gentle spice from ginger meet soft red-fruit sweetness. Our Pink Gin adds juicy berry notes for a refreshing, perfectly balanced highball.

A Little History

The Floradora dates to the early 1900s and is said to be named after the hit Broadway musical “Florodora.” Traditionally built with gin, lime, raspberry syrup, and ginger ale, it became a favourite for its bright colour and easygoing charm. This pink gin version keeps the spirit of the classic with a New Zealand twist.

Variations

• Raspberry Floradora: Swap grenadine for raspberry syrup, or muddle a few raspberries before adding ice.
• Ginger-Beer Floradora: Use ginger beer instead of ginger ale for extra spice and bite.
• Light & Dry: Use a dry ginger ale and add extra lime juice for a crisper finish.

Serving Tip

Serve in a tall highball packed with fresh ice. For extra aroma, express a strip of lime peel over the top before adding the wedge.
