One of the best parts of the Christmas season is all the different types of festive tipples, sweets and chocolates that make their way onto store shelves. From pudding-flavoured gin to Baileys Red Velvet Cupcake it looks like Christmas 2020 is shaping up to be delicious.
The most recent addition to the jolly line-up this season is the award-winning gingerbread gin, made by local folks Craft & Co, a distillery in Collingwood, Victoria.
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.
