Flavoured Gin Australia

Flavoured Gin Australia

Flavoured gin in Australia is available at most working distilleries. At Lark Distilling Co., we are proud to have developed a robust collection of flavoured and classic gin. We use the finest ingredients from around Tasmania and the rest of Australia. Our gin is suitable for drinking poured over ice or in any cocktail of your choosing. 

The standard gin and tonic is generally the most popular way to enjoy gin. The specific flavour of your gin and tonic will depend on which gin you use. Some people find gin to be overpowering with the juniper, and they choose to go with a flavoured gin. Flavoured gin in Australia will come in all different types and styles, so you are sure to find one that appeals to your tastes. 

Mixing a gin and tonic is straightforward and fast. You can use tonic water from single-serving bottles or a larger one if you're making several drinks. Start by pouring about 90ml of gin into a highball glass with ice, topping it up with a tablespoon of lime juice, and adding about 120ml of tonic water. You can top off the drink with a lime slice garnish. When using a flavoured gin, you can omit the lime juice and garnish it with fruit that compliments your gin.

What are some best flavoured gins?

At Lark Distillery Co, we like to think our flavoured gin in Australia is the best available. We use fresh Tasmanian ingredients and botanicals to produce our flavoured gin. You can find excellent flavoured gin at most distilleries, and some may craft gin and nothing else. When choosing a flavoured gin, it is best to examine the tasting notes and see if those flavours appeal to your specific tastes. For example, if you like citrus, try a gin that showcases Australian grown citrus (oranges, lemons, grapefruit, etc.). 

Australia currently has many boutique gin producers, and you'll find brilliant examples of gin in most states. Spirits, including gin, are often produced by passionate distillers, aiming to make an excellent product. Ideally, a gin producer will use local ingredients from their region. At Lark Distillery, we prefer to mix traditional flavours, like citrus and berries, and mix them with native botanicals, such as Tasmanian Bush Honey or Pepperberry. By using these botanical ingredients, it gives you a new and exciting flavour combination to sample. 

When trying to get the best flavour out of your gin, consider that it should never be served at room temperature. If your flavoured gin has not had enough time to cool in the fridge, you can pour it into a glass filled with ice, which will get it to serving temperature. If you're making cocktails with your gin, you can use a classic gin or experiment with available flavours.

How to store gin?

Storing flavoured gin in Australia is easy as it'll keep on a shelf in your pantry. Ideally, you should keep the gin out of the light and in a cool space, so make sure you place it up the back of your kitchen pantry. It is best to keep the bottle in the fridge or freezer for any flavoured gin that you're planning on serving to your guests. The colder your gin is, the more the flavours will be intensified. Keeping gin in the freezer is ideal as it has a higher ABV (alcohol by volume), stopping it from freezing. 

Like many other spirits, your gin will last for many years. Even if your gin comes with a use-by date on the bottle, it'll usually last well beyond that date while it is unopened. However, proper storage is essential, so make sure the cap is on tight and keep the bottle in a cool and dark place. It is important to note that gin does not age after bottling, so there is little point in saving it for the future-thinking it'll improve. 

After a gin bottle is opened, the oxidation process will start to degrade the flavours. Once you open the bottle, make sure you seal the cap tightly, and the next time you open it, check to see if the gin is still okay to drink. If it's been a while since you opened the bottle, have a smell and taste to check the quality. Gin will last for about a year after it has been opened, provided the cap is tight.
