For those that don’t like the bitter quinine bite of tonic, ginger beer makes an amazing alternative mixer for gin!
July’s gin of the month box included a bottle of Bundaberg Ginger Beer - an exquisitely brewed drink packing a fiery punch of fresh ginger. Based in Queensland, Bundaberg’s flavour-packed ginger beer is a household name across Australia, and you only need to try one sip to immediately understand why it’s so wildly popular! It’s bursting with authentic Australian ingredients – lift a glass of the stuff to the light and you’ll see actual ginger floating in the brew.
We love it ice cold from the fridge, mixed with a craft gin with robust botanical flavours or even by itself, but to take your summer BBQ up a notch check out these deliciously summery gin and ginger cocktails!
