A traditional London Dry Gin. Juniper forward, with a signature dryness and a lingering, ginger citrus finish. Very well balanced.

A classic dry for a classic lady, Marie. Marie was Serena’s mum – she was a graceful, kind Irish woman who loved her family and getting into the odd spot of mischief. Marie is pictured on the bottle – this image was taken in 1964 after arriving in Australia as Irish immigrants.

Launched in Melbourne, made with love. 

Botanicals: Blood orange, Navel orange, Juniper, Orris root for boosting fragrance, Coriander, Angelica root, Turmeric, Cassia bark, Galangal, Red ginger, Grains of paradise, Cubeb, Ginger root

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Medium intensity with dry ocean notes, soft juniper and hints of sweet citrus.
• Palate: Citrus and juniper lead. Numerous complimentary botanicals revealed with length. Lovely depth and a warming spice with hints of ginger, tempered by an ocean freshness and long but soft, dry finish.

Servings suggestions:

• Pair well with a local premium dry tonic such as Long Rays or Capi Dry
• Garnish with dried or fresh grapefruit ot orange slices
• Will stand out well in lemon or lime sour cocktails (think French 75, Gimlet, Southside, Tom Collins). Would be fantastic in a Martini (dry or dirty . . . go with your instincts)

About Mothers Milk Gin: Serena and Glenn met 10 years ago and have been friends ever since. Glenn loves the science and Serena loves the creative – a perfect partnership joining two people together in a quest to make great gin.

Both are driven by wanting to celebrate their mum’s legacy and tell stories about these wonderful women. Marie was Serena’s mum – she was a graceful, kind Irish woman who loved her family and getting into the odd spot of mischief. Phyllis was Glenn’s mum – a little rock n roll and ahead of her time – she travelled the world and defied the expectations of her generation. Both women broke the mould. There will never be another two like them again.

At Mother’s Milk, Serena & Glenn have created two signature gins. One is called Marie and the other is Phyllis. Marie is a traditional dry gin and Phyllis is a contemporary gin. Starting out small, they are releasing limited quantities of each with Marie being the first. Look out for a Christmas gin in due course, plus a Pride gin and other seasonal gins when the mood strikes them.
