Imagine the unexpected thrill of raspberries and chili dancing across your palate, each flavour layer unravelling in a symphony of sweet and spicy. First, the raspberries burst with their juicy, tart sweetness, a familiar taste that feels like a summer memory. Just as you savour their bright, fruity notes, a gentle warmth from the chili begins to bloom. It doesn’t overpower but rather teases the senses, adding depth and a tantalizing kick that lingers just long enough to keep you coming back for more.

The combination is playful, together, they create a flavour experience that’s as surprising as it is delightful, a perfect blend to tickle the taste buds and ignite your curiosity.

Let the spirit warm up in your mouth and let the spice then burst!

TRIVIA FACT

RASPBERRY

Raspberries and gin are a match made in cocktail heaven because raspberries enhance gin's natural botanical flavors, particularly the juniper and citrus notes. Historically, raspberry gin has been a popular infused spirit, dating back to Victorian times when fruits were commonly used to mask harsher-tasting alcohols. Today, it's a delicious way to add a fruity twist to classic gin cocktails!
