You asked. We listened. Our much-loved Wonky Pear & Chilli Gin is back!

Made with wonky pears rescued by Oddbox and surplus British-grown chillies, this is a gin with a little bit of everything: juicy pear, warming chilli and a gentle kick of spice.

It’s fruity, fresh and warming, with just the right amount of heat.

And while it’s delicious simply topped with tonic, we think it really comes into its own in a cocktail.

So, whether you like your gin simple, sparkling or seriously spicy, here are three of our favourite ways to serve Penrhos x Oddbox Wonky Pear & Chilli Gin.

1. The Perfect Serve

Sometimes, keeping it simple is the best way to enjoy a great gin.

The sweetness of the pear and gentle heat from the chilli work beautifully with a crisp, premium tonic.

• 150ml premium tonic water

• 1 slice of fresh pear

Top with 150ml of premium tonic water and give it a gentle stir.

Fruity, refreshing and with a subtle warming finish.

2. The Spicy 75

A Penrhos twist on the classic French 75, with pear, elderflower and a little extra sparkle.

This one is made for celebrations, dinner parties or simply when you fancy something a bit special.

Fruity, sparkling and with a warming chilli kick - this is our kind of celebration cocktail.

3. The Farmaita

Think margarita but make it Penrhos.

The Farmaita brings together our fruity Wonky Pear & Chilli Gin with zesty lime, orange liqueur and a spicy salt rim.

You’ll need:

• 50ml Penrhos x Oddbox Wonky Pear & Chilli Gin

• 20ml fresh lime juice

• 15ml Cointreau

• 10ml sugar syrup

• Spicy salt, for the rim

Finish with a slice of pear or chilli.

Farmaita is for those who like a little more kick.

Why wonky?

At Penrhos, we’ve always believed that great fruit shouldn’t go to waste just because it doesn’t look perfect.

That’s why we work with partners like Oddbox to rescue surplus and wonky British-grown fruit and turn it into something delicious.

Our Wonky Pear & Chilli Gin is a perfect example of what happens when you take fruit that might otherwise be overlooked and give it a second life.

Which one will you try first?

Whether you’re a classic G&T person, a sparkling cocktail fan or someone who likes their drinks with a serious kick, there’s a serve for you.
