Prince Albert’s Gin
FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARS, PRINCE ALBERT’S GIN HAS BEEN A POPULAR CHOICE FOR AUSTRALIA GIN CONSUMERS. RELAUNCHED IN 2015 WITH A NEW SPECIAL BOTANICAL BLEND IN A NEW SLEEK BOTTLE AND MODERN LABEL DESIGN, IT HAS EXCEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS!
GIN STARTED ITS JOURNEY TO become one of today’s most popular spirits more than 600 years ago in Holland where it was called “genever” and used to treat a range of kidney and stomach ailments. Reportedly consumed prior to battle to calm the nerves, genever was named “Dutch courage” by British sailors who returned home and introduced it to their homeland.

The clear neutral spirit used as the base for Prince Albert’s Gin is produced in New Zealand where it is triple distilled to remove impurities and is then charcoal filtered to capture any remaining unwanted aromas or flavours. These processes, while not essential, are employed to ensure the highest levels of quality and purity.
While gin is well known to draw its distinct flavour from juniper berries, Prince Albert’s Gin is created with a unique and well-guarded recipe containing a proprietary blend of botanicals that also include angelica root, coriander seeds, orange peel and lime to create this crisp, citrus forward and refreshing gin.
At a time where gin has once again become fashionable and increasingly popular as an essential ingredient for cocktails, why not surprise your friends with a Martini with a difference – add:
• 45ml of Prince Albert’s Gin • 30ml of lemon juice • 15ml of Continental Triple Sec Liqueur • One large barspoon full of orange marmalade into a large cocktail shaker.
Stir the ingredients well, then fill with shaker with ice, seal it and shake for 10 seconds. Strain into a chilled Martini glass and garnish with an orange peel twist. Enjoy! ❧
We all need a friend like Will & Grace character Karen Walker. She speaks her mind, has a lot of sass and has no qualms about drinking cocktails before noon.
“If you ever need someone to drink with, I’ll drink with you. If you ever need a shoulder to cry on, I’ll drink with you. I guess what I’m trying to say is: I love to drink!” Karen Walker
