New to Sydney, an all-natural additive to the traditionally clear beverage colours it a captivating blue.

Until you add your tonic, Ink Gin remains a deep blue colour that is created with the petals of the butterfly pea, a South East Asian flower that reacts to different pH levels by changing colour.

With the addition of tonic, the gimmick is your drink remains a captivating colour, developing a violet hue giving an otherwise bland looking drink a funky new look as well as a subtle and interesting flavour.

Founder at Husk Distillers Paul Messenger says, “We built the gin around that flower; it smooths out the alcohol, letting the flavours of the major botanicals come through for a nice, long finish.”
