Ideas for creating a coastal ambiance at home while enjoying King Island Coastal Gin, including décor, music, and serving tips.
Coastal Gin is an amalgamation of the King Island coastline and Australia’s finest local flora and fauna. Immerse yourself in the Coastal Gin experience by creating a coastal ambiance at home. Experience coastal living no matter where you are with music, décor, and the perfect gin cocktail.
Décor
Adorn your home with a tranquil coastal aesthetic inspired by ocean escapes and the scenic Australian coastline. Combine organic shapes, muted, natural tones, and soft sandy hues. Natural textures and materials such as wicker, merino wool, bamboo, tactile cotton, and textured linens are the perfect way to stay true to our natural connection to the ocean breeze and surrounding landscapes. Colour can be introduced with weathered timber elements and local stones, but the trick is to keep it simple. As with any home, it is the accessories that complete the picture. Consider rattan baskets, pendants, and stools. Utilise rugs for defining areas and greenery such as natural plants to capture the Australian Coastal style.
Music
Music is just as important as the look and feel of your surroundings. Filling the air with the essence of a summer’s day at the beach, a few minutes at a time is the perfect way to connect to coastal living. Spend your time sipping Coastal Gin cocktails and soaking in some of Australia’s top surf-bands. Our recommendations for the soundtrack to coastal living are bands such as Hockey Dad, Beaches, Twerps, WASH, The Sunnyboys, Goons of Doom, Radio Birdman, Ocean Alley, The Babe Rainbow, and Australian Crawl. Bringing the soundtrack of the beach to life, these bands perfectly capture the essence of a day by the Australian coast. Their music practically drips with salt water and sun.
Serving
Complete the coastal experience with Coastal Gin and an array of dishes to suit everybody’s palate. Our simple and refreshing spirit pairs perfectly with fresh seafood such as oysters and other seafood dishes, as well as savoury or citrus-fresh food. The intense umami from the seafood and the citrus flavours of gin will balance the savoury notes. Try pairing our gin with a tangy lemon meringue pie or citrus salad with a hint of chilli for that extra kick. This versatile spirit is the life of the party when paired with the right food. Embark on a culinary adventure and elevate your Coastal Gin experience with delectable delights.
Bring the coastal feeling to your next gathering. Consider hosting a gin and food pairing tasting night with friends. Encourage everyone to bring their favourite combinations. It’s not just about the flavours; it’s about the shared experience of discovering new and exciting ways to savour your favourite spirit while enjoying the feel of the Australian coastline.
