When you think of a cocktail, sweet or citrusy might be the first flavour notes that come to mind. But a new wave of mixology is turning tradition on its head—ushering in the era of savoury cocktails, where umami, earthiness, and minerality take centre stage. And few spirits are better suited to this nuanced style than King Island Coastal Gin.
Crafted on one of the most pristine islands in the world, King Island Coastal Gin captures the wild, elemental character of its surroundings—infused with native botanicals like saltbush and proofed with pure island rainwater. It's a gin designed to reflect the coastline itself—bracing, fresh, and unmistakably Tasmanian—making it the perfect canvas for unique savoury serves.

Savory cocktails deliver all of this—introducing notes of salinity, herbaceousness, and umami that beautifully complement seasonal ingredients. They also pair exceptionally well with food, offering a refined alternative to sweet aperitifs or dessert cocktails.
