MAKE IT THIS WEEKEND: EDITION #2
Another edition of our " Make It This Weekend " series! This one is about some fruity Spritzes, Peach Bellinis and zesty Cantaritos. Because the more gin cocktails in the world, the better, in our humble opinion. No better activity than putting that bottle to use and adding a new easy cocktail recipe to your repertoire. Fun tip? Do it with friends. Because any activity that ends with weekend drinks is always a win.
For our second entry, we wanted to highlight our newest releases: two limited edition Australian gins you can’t get anywhere else. Both are small batch releases distilled right here in Healesville. Perfect for gifting, drinking and made for mixing into easy gin cocktails at home...or anywhere really!
First up is a peach gin…but not any peach gin…Three Peach Gin. It’s fresh and light, with a lower ABV than most gins. This makes it perfect for daytime drinking, weekend brunch cocktails and sunny afternoon spritzes, from an easy Peach Spritz cocktail recipe to a fruity Peach Bellini made with gin (obviously).
Then there's our bold Mexican-inspired gin. El Cuatro Gin. Infused with habanero and citrus, this zesty gin is made for Spicy Margaritas or any kind of Margatini recipe (that’s a margarita with gin). Want something a bit different? Mix up a Cantarito. Surprisingly simple, vibrant, and punchy, it's perfect for when you’re ready to turn things up a notch. Start light with the peach, then move into something with a little more heat.
So, what should you make this weekend? We’ve lined up three easy gin cocktail recipes: a Peach Gin Spritz and Peach Bellini with Three Peach Gin, plus a citrusy Cantarito with El Cuatro Gin. Perfect for making at home, and surprisingly simple. Start light with the peach, then move into something with a little more heat. From easy gin cocktails served over brunch to bold, flavour-packed pours, these limited releases are made for experimenting.
So, grab the bottle or (the bundle) and start mixing!
