Have you tried a G&T with our Mountains Devil Magic Gin? ✨

It not only looks pretty, it also tastes divine 💜

The butterfly pea flower gives this gin its distinctive look and sweet herbal tang. The colour-altering pea flower yields a gloriously blue spirit, with flavourful hints of upland meadows. The flower essence also shifts the gin towards a magenta shade when citrus or tonic is present.

Come into the Factory Bar and try this twist on a classic 🍸
