Why Waterloo Prickly Pear & Rose Gin Stands Out
Waterloo Prickly Pear & Rose Gin is a premium gin that leans into bright botanicals and a romantic, fruit-and-flower profile. It blends classic juniper character with the exotic sweetness of prickly pear cactus and the elegant aromatics of rose petals for a refreshing, modern pour.
This expression is expertly distilled with a carefully curated selection of botanicals, balancing traditional gin structure with vibrant prickly pear and a soft rose lift. The result is a beautifully pink-hued gin that looks as striking as it tastes—made for elevated G&Ts, floral cocktails, and standout home bar moments.
What You’ll Notice First
The bottle presentation matches the pour: a clear, tall bottle shows off the pale pink spirit, finished with a natural wood-topped cork. A clean, light label with gold accents and “Prickly Pear & Rose” front and center gives it a polished, gift-ready feel on the shelf or bar cart.
