72 <strong>Style</strong> | Drink Busting out the botanicals Give your senses a wake-up call with gins known for their flower power. Words Kate Preece Mother Earth approved From a family farm on the Kapiti Coast comes the key ingredient that will see a fresh flavour in your liquor cabinet. Kawakawa has long been a plant praised for its medicinal properties, which surely means you can only feel better from having it infused in a gin, right? The Bond Store Kawakawa Gin smells earthy, has a clean finish, without a lingering aftertaste, and is a rather refreshing number overall. My fellow tasters described it as a trip through nature. It’s also incredibly reasonable on price point (around $40), so there’s little reason not to give this one a whirl. ‘Botanicals’ is the buzzword you’ll hear as soon as you step into the world of gin. This is because gin starts its life as a neutral white spirit, which is then flavoured with an array of tasty herbs and spices. There will always be juniper berries, as this is what defines gin (a three-letter term itself derived from French and Dutch names for juniper), but don’t be surprised to find kitchen spices and native plants in your next favourite drink. West Coast in a bottle There’s a lovely story behind this Reefton number, but I’ll leave you to discover that one for yourself. Let me instead guide your senses around a glass of Little Biddy. For me, it was the liquorice and cardamom that leapt out of the open bottle first. Then, with a sip, you will wander through the other Kiwi natives (horopito, rimu and tarata, to name but a few) and experience the spiced citrus as the grand finale. In short, if botanicals and citrus are your thing, you’ll be in there like swimwear. Less is more This is a crowd-pleaser. From the Bay of Islands, the rather unassuming Black Collar Gin quickly makes its mark and demands a refill. It’s not heavy-handed with the botanicals, but its choice of coriander, liquorice and marshmallow do good things with the juniper. This is one I’ll buy again. A side of madness My husband often tells me that if we were all normal, life would be dull. Turns out, a bit of ‘madness’ in my gin glass is also a very good thing. Method and Madness is an Irish brand that has finally put an invasive weed to good use. It’s not that I could distinguish the wild gorse flowers from the other 15 botanicals (including lavender, bay leaf, basil, verbena, nutmeg and ginger), but it’s wrapped up in lashings of spice and a side of citrus, cued by the black lemon (aka dried lime). I enjoyed every drop. It’s another one to serve nice and strong, to appreciate all that’s going on. Finally, a good use for gorse.
