According to the Craft & Co website, gingerbread gin is:
“Utterly unique, this unashamedly unfiltered gin retains all the warmth from the macerated ginger root, smashed nutmeg, cinnamon and tonka beans, recalling that delicious sense of joy from all your favourite festivities. It’s your new happy place.”
This delicious tipple is available in-store from Craft & Co, alternatively you pick yourself up a bottle from Dan Murphy’s, BWS, and BoozeBud and will set you back about $85 for a 700ml bottle.
The distillery recommends serving their biscuity creation in a ‘Gingerbread Gin Eggnog'. Instructions below.
