A classic gin and tonic doesn't usually come with any health benefits, but now a new pink tipple could change all that.

The inventors of a gin infused with anti-ageing collagen have now launched a pink version that is said to taste 'floral' with a hint of rose.

Collagin Rose contains more collagen, which is said to help give you more youthful, glowing skin.

The original Collagin, which is sold on Ocado, proved a smash hit, so the creators are hoping the pink version will be just as popular.

Collagin has launched a new rose version of its original collagen-infused gin which is pink in colour. It claims it will help you give you more youthful-looking skin

The gimmicky gin is pricey at £36.99 a bottle, and is £2 more expensive than its original Collagin.

It's currently only available to buy at Notonthehighstreet.com.

Its creators describe it a having 'an elegant and refined flavour,' adding: 'With rose oil steam distilled from rose petals.

How does collagen help give you youthful skin? Collagen is found in our muscles, bones, joints, and tendons and because collagen contributes to healthy hair and strong nails, and makes up to 75 percent of our skin. The body's production of collagen starts decreasing from our mid-20s by about one per cent per year. It can't stop ageing if you take collagen supplements but there are some studies that do show an improvement to skin with the supplementation of collagen. Advertisement

The pink gin is infused with pure collagen which breaks down as you drink it, which apparently helps boost the healthiness of your skin. It apparently has floral notes with a hint of rose flavour

'Collagin Rose hosts 11 botanicals including pink grapefruit and orris, but with the innovative addition of pure collagen. The result is a deliciously smooth, velvety gin with floral notes, finished with a subtle rose sweetness.'

The collagen-infused gin was invented by best friends and entrepreneurs Camilla Brown and Liz Beswick, from Oxford, who decided to tap into the booming booze and beauty industries by combining gin with pure collagen three years ago.

Speaking to FEMAIL in 2016, they said: 'Gin surpassed a billion pounds in sales last year and is on the up, however even with so many new gins launching all the time, none have the unique selling point that Collagin has.

'As we age, our collagen breaks down so drinking pure collagen helps keep our dermis youthful and resilient.'

They added: 'The beauty world and the booze world are huge, so why not merge them and create a whole new world?'
