Victorian distillery, Four Pillars, is rolling out a new ready-to-drink cocktail with a bold flavour – Four Pillars Bloody Raspberry & Ginger Gin Punch.
Launching exclusively in Dan Murphy’s and BWS, this release is the first of a planned range of tins, aiming to help customers explore new cocktails. The first of the Four Pillars Flavour Tins lineup is Bloody Raspberry & Ginger Gin Punch, a fizzy and refreshing drink with a base of the company’s fan-favourite Bloody Shiraz Gin.
Four Pillars creative director of gin drinks, Nick Tesar, looked to classic serves like the Clover Club and Floradora for inspiration, and decided on a gin punch – a drink blending spirit, citrus, sugar, spice, and fizz.
Lemon and ginger beer enhanced the flavour of Four Pillars’ Bloody Shiraz Gin for the base, and it was finished off with a hit of raspberry, taking a few rounds of tasting to balance the sweet and bitter flavours.
Four Pillars head distiller, Sarah Prowse, said the company has always made its gin with the drink in mind.
“The gin can be great by itself, but it needs to stand up in a drink before it gets the final tick of approval,” said Prowse.
“With its natural sweetness, Bloody Shiraz Gin has always been a favourite of bartenders around the world because it offers so much versatility and range when it comes to making a cocktail.”
This release joins Four Pillars’ existing RTD family, made up of classic gin and mixer serves, including Rare Dry Gin & Tonic and Fresh Yuzu Gin & Soda.
Four Pillars Bloody Raspberry & Ginger Gin Punch is now available in Dan Murphy’s and BWS stores nationwide, for RRP $28.00 in a four-pack and $140.00 in a case of 24.
