Never Never Distilling Co.’s Pink Pepper Gin highlights pink pepper, pink grapefruit, Sichuan pepper, pink Murray River salt, mandarin, poppy seed and gunpowder tea. According to the distillery, it’s designed to make exceptional G&Ts, highball serves and classic Negronis — cocktails that are all extremely popular serves at the collaborating bar, Hains & Co.

“In 2018, Hains & Co was the first bar to take Triple Juniper Gin,” Never Never Distilling Co. shared. “And our relationship has only become stronger over the 5 years with us now being the house pour at this Adelaide institution. Hains & Co has been a huge part of the reason why we have succeeded in becoming a prominent part of the South Australian gin landscape. Long before we had a distillery door in McLaren Vale, we used Hains & Co as our brand home.”

According to Drinks Trade, Pink Pepper Gin draws inspiration from ancient spice trade routes in central Europe and Asia, intentionally incorporating each of its botanicals for a spiced, citrusy experience, while the herbal addition of Chinese gunpowder tea and pink Murray River salt offers a lingering taste, enhanced by the Australian distillery’s Triple Juniper process.

Priced at $79.00 per 44%-ABV bottle, Pink Pepper Gin is now available for purchase through Never Never Distilling Co.’s online shop.
