Distillation Crafted in small batches on the Coromandel Peninsula, Awildian Dry Blue Gin combines traditional distilling with a touch of magic. Made using a copper still and infused with butterfly pea flower, it naturally changes from blue to purple with the addition of tonic or citrus. It’s a striking twist on classic dry gin, infused with a sense of place and playfulness.
Botanicals Juniper-led with fresh citrus, green herbs, peppercorn, and native botanicals. Butterfly pea flower gives it its natural indigo hue, without overpowering the clean, dry flavour profile.
Palate Crisp and well-balanced, with zesty citrus peel and piney juniper leading into herbal depth and a touch of earthy spice. The finish is dry and fresh, with a lingering floral lift and a hint of citrus zing.
Serving Suggestions Serve with premium tonic and a squeeze of lime to enjoy the full colour-changing effect. Also works beautifully in a gin fizz or floral-inspired martini for a visual and flavour-forward serve.
Interesting Fact The name Awildian means one who lives untamed, reflecting the gin’s coastal, off-grid origins and spirit of adventure. The vibrant blue hue comes entirely from natural botanicals and adds theatre to every glass without compromising purity or flavour.
