What to Drink in a Hammock: Brookie's Gin in a Watermelon Slushie

Listen Later

Eddie Brook, Founder of Cape Byron Distillery & creator of Brookie's Gin, joins us this week to tell us why you need more Gin-based slushies and hammocks in your life, pronto!

Why this pairing works:  This slushie is summer incarnate. It will slay the heat of the day and transport you to the Australian rainforest where Eddie & co. source 17 of the 25 botanicals used for this Gin. Travel somewhere tropical whilst never leaving your backyard hammock.

What makes this Gin Special:

  • Eddie Brook and his parents have been regenerating a large swath of farmland and turning it back into a rainforest since 1988
  • Legendary distiller Jim McEwan and Eddie Brook teamed up to make something truly special: a Gin focusing on the fruits and botanicals of this rainforest
  • Drink in botanicals like Lillypilly Berries, Riperry, and Bottle Brush. They are as fun to say as they are to taste!

    • Brookie's Cucumber-Watermelon-Mint Slushee

    (makes 4 servings)
