The ultimate guide to raspberry gin cocktails for Valentine’s Day — featuring the Clover Club, a Raspberry Gin Smash, and a gorgeous Raspberry Gin Spritz-style serve.
Valentine’s Day calls for cocktails that feel a little bit special — and ideally, a little bit pink.
If you’re searching for raspberry gin cocktails that look beautiful, taste incredible, and are easy enough to make at home, you’re in the right place. Raspberry gin brings a naturally fruity sweetness and a romantic rosy colour that makes it perfect for date-night drinks (whether that’s for two… or for you!).
In this post, we’re sharing three Valentine’s pink gin cocktails using Manchester Gin – Raspberry Infused, including the ultimate showstopper: the Clover Club.
Quick note: You don’t need fancy tools — just something to shake everything in and a good glass!!
Why Raspberry Gin is Perfect for Valentine’s Cocktails
Raspberry gin is basically made for romantic cocktails. It’s:
- Pink, which makes drinks instantly Valentine’s-ready
- Fruity enough for sweet cocktail lovers.
- Balanced enough to still feel like a proper gin cocktail
- Extremely versatile (works with citrus, fizz, wine and herbal notes)
If you’ve been browsing pink gin cocktail recipes, consider this your upgrade: raspberry infused gin gives you the colour and the flavour without tasting artificial.
The Best Raspberry Gin Cocktails for Valentine’s Day
1) Clover Club (The Ultimate Valentine’s Pink Gin Cocktail)
If there’s one drink that screams Valentine’s Day, it’s the Clover Club.
It’s silky, elegant, blush-pink and perfect for serving in a coupe. The egg white creates that dreamy foam top, which makes it feel like something you’d order in a high-end cocktail bar — but it’s totally doable at home.
Ingredients
- 50ml Manchester Gin – Raspberry Infused
- 25ml Lemon Juice
- 1 Egg white
- 20ml Vanilla Syrup or sugar syrup (did you know if you don’t have syrup, you can use icing sugar - just add a bit and taste and then add more until you feel have the right amount of sweetness)
- Raspberries — 3
Method
- Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker.
- Shake hard and double strain into your glass.
- Garnish
- Raspberry on a cocktail stick
Glassware
- Nick Nora / Martini / Coupe
Valentine’s tip: Serve with a heart-shaped garnish pick or add a few edible flower petals around the rim for an instant “wow”.
2) Raspberry Gin Smash (Easy, Fresh & Romantic)
Want something lighter, super refreshing, and not too sweet? The Raspberry Gin Smash is perfect.
Mint and lemon lift the raspberry beautifully. It’s bright, clean, and dangerously drinkable. This is also one of the easiest raspberry gin cocktails to make without a full bar setup.

Valentine’s tip: Freeze raspberries into ice cubes — it looks stunning and adds flavour as it melts.
3) Raspberry Gin Spritz-Style Serve (Garden Party Cocktail)
If you’re looking for a “spritz” cocktail with raspberry gin that feels celebratory and looks gorgeous in photos — this one is perfect.
It’s slightly different from the classic prosecco spritz style because it uses Sauvignon Blanc + ginger, keeping it crisp but warming. Ideal as a “welcome drink” for Valentine’s dinner at home.
Ingredients
- 25ml Manchester Gin – Raspberry Infused
- 50ml Sauvignon Blanc
- 25ml Lemon Juice
- 50ml Ginger Ale
