Landers Lime Gin

Landers Lime Gin is a 40% ABV Australian gin developed by Never Never Distilling Co. with Landers Pocket, its first distillery collaboration outside South Australia. The project draws on Queensland ingredients and a bright, relaxed citrus style. Native finger lime, white grapefruit, fresh ginger, Australian pepper berry, lime leaf and distilled coconut cream are set around a dry juniper base in a 700 mL bottling.

A thin finger-lime wheel and one lime leaf are enough to mirror the gin's own ingredients. The tonic should be very cold and added last so its fizz carries the fresh citrus notes without obscuring the ginger or pepper berry.
