Challenging the dichotomy of precision and experimentation. 

In September 2021, we installed a 1250L pot still into our Footscray brewery and began the arduous task of recipe development and refinement. 

Our small-batch spirits are made using only the best ingredients, and we were able to draw from ideologies/methodologies of both winemaking and brewing—alongside inspiration from the people we encountered on the way—to ensure high quality at every stage, from distillation right through to bottling.

SNOWSTORM

A slightly bitter gin number from a slightly bitter gin maestro!

Deriving its foundation from the immortal White Negroni, this tropical slammer has expanded that operation past its equal measure beginnings and really has it all… Table Gin rubs elbows with vermouth complexity, medicinal tones, tropical juice energy, fresh citrus and a chewy honey sweetener.

20mL Table Gin
20mL Cocchi Americano/Lillet
20mL Suze
20mL pineapple juice
15mL lemon juice
15mL honey

Combine all ingredients over ice in shaker. Rotate slowly until thoroughly chilled, then shake vigorously until aerated and ice cold. Strain into a chilled rocks glass over fresh ice and garnish with a dash of bitters.

THE FREEZER MARTINI

Combine 60mL of Table Gin with 30mL of dry vermouth and two dashes of orange bitters to a jug you can easily pour from.

This produces the base volume for one drink. To this base, add 15mL of bottled water per every drink you're preparing. Pour your final amount of liquid into a clean bottle with a well fitted lid and place in your freezer for a minimum of three hours.

When ready to serve, pour approximately 110mL of your frozen mixture into a frozen cocktail glass. Express the oil from a fresh peel of lemon over the top of the glass, place it in the drink and serve immediately.
