As Hemp continues to take the world by storm, spirit producers are now embracing the movement. We’ve teamed up with Giniversity & Gerties Bar to create two signature cocktails built on the backbone of Hemp Gin. You may be thinking “Will this make me intoxicated in more ways than one?” and the answer is a definite “no”. Hemp refers to the non-psychoactive variety of Cannabis Sativa L which means the plant contains less than .3% of THC.

Before we get boozed, let’s talk more about the Giniversity Smoked Hemp Gin. Developed in collaboration with Margaret River Hemp Co, this handcrafted and delicately smoked gin is made using locally grown organic hemp hearts. As described by its creators, the smoking process adds a level of complexity and when blended with carefully selected botanicals, creates a truly contemporary style of Gin. While Juniper anchors the gin, the creamy nutty hemp heart envelopes the tongue and lingers long after the smoke has disappeared.

Our friends at Gerties Bar & Restaurant, the Brisbane Kings of Signature Cocktail Creations, have opened up their doors (and bar) to us to create two night caps worthy of your lips. Both equally refreshing with a smoky aftermath, these creations are best served at your annual dinner parties, or enjoyed peacefully on your own. Meet Lola and Romantico.
