Victorian distillery, Four Pillars Gin, has dropped two new ready-to-drink cocktail cans – the Yuzu, Pineapple & Lime Gin Smash and the Passionfruit & Orange Gin Crush.

Since releasing its first RTD in March, the Bloody Raspberry & Ginger Gin Punch made with the distillery’s much-loved Bloody Shiraz Gin, the team has been getting creative with its cocktails, leading to this latest launch.

The Yuzu, Pineapple & Lime Gin Smash is a light and tropical drink, bursting with citrus and Four Pillars’ Fresh Yuzu Gin. The Passionfruit & Orange Gin Crush features the company’s iconic Rare Dry Gin, paired with fizzy orange and passionfruit flavours.

Four Pillars creative director of gin drinks, Nick Tesar, said cocktails have always been a huge part of the company’s process.

“We wanted these tins to be just as flavour-forward as the cocktails we make at our home venues, and to really complement the palate of our core gin range,” said Tesar.

“Each tin not only shows off the gin, but also taps into those classic summer flavours we all know and love. That little hit of nostalgia makes them truly feel like summer in a tin. Take the Gin Crush cans for example, they’re inspired by the passionfruit and orange sodas that I have nostalgic memories of growing up in Brisbane. Light, bright, zesty and great for sipping on a hot summer's day.”

Four Pillars Gin Tins have landed in Dan Murphy's and BWS shelves and online, as well as at the Four Pillars Gin Shops in Healesville and Surry Hills, for RRP $27.99 in a four-pack, or $139.99 in a case of 24.
