The new Salt & Pepper Gin & Vodka Kit from Archie Rose includes two by 200ml set of Sea Salt Gin and Pink Peppercorn Vodka – a savoury tribute to the distillery's love of Martinis and long lunches by the sea and the wonders of a boozy Bloody Mary brunch the day after.
“You might say that there are a few gourmands in the Archie Rose team and our shared love for amazing food and drink was the inspiration for this product,” says Master Distiller, Dave Withers.
“The two great flavour enhancers of great food are salt and pepper, which in essence enhance the enjoyment of a meal. Our Sea Salt Gin and Pepper Vodka will add spice or vigour to the moment in the same way a truly phenomenal seasoning might.”
A savoury tribute to the perfect martini, Sea Salt Gin is fresh with zesty flavours of the ocean thanks to native sea celery, sea lettuce and lime - a truly gourmet gin with a savoury disposition. Soak in the flavours of the sea celery, a distillate so complex that is almost a finished product on its own and savour the taste of dry pine and saline on the tip of your tongue. Punchy and complex with notes of citrus and celery leaf, it’s the ideal match for martinis and long lunches with friends by the sea.
The heady Pink Peppercorn Vodka is proof of the boisterous flavour profile pepper can provide, elevating any Bloody Mary into a luxurious, decadent beast as the ultimate morning pick-me-up. As fragrant as it is vibrant, it celebrates the exotic union of local lemon leaf and pink peppercorn, offering tropical fruit and citrus with notes of berries and woody spice - perfect for boisterous brunches with friends.
“What started as a journey into the boundaries of umami and a desire to create gourmet savoury spirits has led to the creation of what we think are the ultimate party starters for the lovers of truly exceptional spirits and cocktails,” says Mr Withers.
Archie Rose Head of Hospitality, Harriet Leigh, adds “these spirits are intended as two luxurious, decadent beasts, created as the baseline to two of the great all-time cocktails and ready to mix for lunchtime drinks or as the ultimate morning pick-me-up.”
Craft a Martini with 50ml of Sea Salt Gin and 10ml of Maidenii Vermouth. Stir to your desired dilution and garnish to your heart's desire.
Or, add 50ml of Pink Peppercorn Vodka, 10ml of Mabu Mabu Tomato Hot Sauce and 120ml Westmont Pickles Bloody Mary Mix together in a glass rimmed with the spice rub and add your pick of favourite garnishes like celery, olives or lemons to complete the perfect Bloody Mary.
Both spirits can be swapped for Archie Rose’s recommended recipes and drunk in your method (and cocktail) of choice over ice or with tonic.
