Collaborations are really cool as when like minded people with different skill set come together
they create magic. I have collaborated with lots of chefs, restauranteurs, gelato makers and
even pizza places to offer something very exciting and different.
My latest collaboration is a really exciting one. Just a month ago while I was cooking at home
with spices and sipping gin, this thought how about if I put spices and gin together as I know
there are many infusions out there in the market so it is possible.
I could only think of the legends at ‘Brighton Gin’ when I thought I would like to share this idea
and see if they get equally excited. It so happens that they were excited and we did not waste a
minute after that.
Starting with distilling individual spiced gins to blending a few spices together to working on
ways to infuse curry leaves into it.... After a lot of testing and tasting, tasting and testing and
making few different versions, approximately just over a month the end result was really
satisfying. We have even designed our own label.
Best part about this is its a local gin made by locals - fused with black pepper and cardamom
sourced from our family run small plantation in Coorg, India and mace from small organic spice
farm in Kerala.
The curry leaf hits the nose instantly and then the sweetness of cardamom follows with an end
result of slight heat from black pepper.
For someone who likes spices and gin and would like to drink small batch local gins, this one is
a winner. Don’t take my word for it. Just check it out yourself.
After a few weeks of soft launch we will be releasing it into the market for all you ‘Ginthusiasts’
to get ‘Ginspired.’
