The desert lime is a tiny grape-sized fruit that has a comparatively sweet tang compared to the traditional limes that you may buy at your supermarket, or from those you might just pick off a tree in the garden. When freeze-dried, some people liken it to sherbet and the suggestions for how it can be used are extensive, but do not include using it a basis for a gin. Challenge accepted! – we just had to create a gin around this distinctly Australian product.

Our Desert Lime Gin includes traditional gin ingredients such as allspice, liquorice root, angelica root and ginger. We supplement the desert lime component with other citrus ingredients to create a clearly citrus-driven gin. It’s easy to supplement with organic citrus when you can pick them from the tree on your way down to the distillery.

This is a classic G&T focused gin and one that works wonders on a warm summer evening. Pair it with a wedge of lime (squeezing a few drops of the wedge into the drink first) or with halved desert limes if you can get hold of some. Enjoy!
