HIGHRISE HIGHBALL
HOT TODDY
THE PROOF
We’re loving the Hamptonsmeets-Miami inspired cocktails from Pink Lady, like the “You make my heart go boba boba” with vodka, lychee, coconut, and added lime and yuzu – just reach for a highball, fill it with ice, and top with soda! Make a beeline to the penthouse, ascend to the top of the Muse Hotel, capture sunset views, and recharge and refresh with this highrise highball.
Grab a blanket and snuggle up! The Hot Toddy Gin is a winter warmer from the team at Blush. They’ve tweaked their charming rhubarb gin and added fresh apple, currants, warming cinnamon, cardamom, and clove. Think spiced winter crumble, and you’re on the right track. This is a cloudy gin, meaning the spice sediment settles, so shake it before you make it. This is a limited edition, so get in quick before they sell out!
Napier’s National Distillery Company is one to watch. Take, for example, its copper-distilled gin, The Proof. A brand new, limited edition addition to an already superb gin range, The Proof has already been crowned Best New Zealand Gin, taking home the gold in last year’s Juniper awards. Notes of kawakawa and karamū provide much needed golden warmth, and the berry profile adds a delicate sweet touch to this tipple.

BUTTERY AND BOOZY Vegan rum, you say?! This hot buttered rum is all that, and then some. Made using spiced rum from Concept, a local vegan spirits company, and cultured cashew butter from Savour. Served within a sugar and cinnamon rimmed glass, with hot water on the side. You pour in the hot water, and it emulsifies into a delicious creamy boozy delight. gratergoods.co.nz
