Capricorn Distilling Co makes Strawberry Fields Gin in Queensland, in a small batch of 500 bottles at 42% ABV. Fresh locally sourced strawberries are vapour-infused into the gin, a method that gives the fruit a clear place in the profile while retaining the distillery's traditional gin botanicals.

The aroma leads with ripe strawberry, followed by a crisp juniper note and a trace of citrus zest.

On the palate, the fruit is juicy and direct, but the juniper keeps the gin dry enough to balance its natural sweetness. Capricorn describes the texture as crisp yet creamy, with a smooth finish reminiscent of strawberry pavlova. That impression comes through as a soft, rounded finish rather than added dessert-like sweetness.

At 42%, the gin has enough structure for a longer drink and enough fruit to remain present after dilution. A classic tonic gives the strawberry room, while a fresh berry in the glass reinforces the aroma without turning the drink into a syrupy mix. The citrus note adds lift to the finish; avoid strong flavoured tonics that would compete with the fruit or blur the juniper.

For the producer's suggested style, fill a balloon glass with clear ice, pour 4.5 cl, top with 12 cl of Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water and add a fresh strawberry with a fine strip of lemon peel to bring out the citrus edge. Stir lightly and serve cold. The gin also works with soda for a drier highball, where the vapour-infused strawberry and juniper remain especially clear. The distillery recommends fresh strawberry with tonic, a pairing that follows the way the fruit is introduced during production. Keeping the garnish fresh and the mixer neutral lets the strawberry remain recognisable without obscuring the classic gin structure.
