Listen "What to Drink in a Hammock: Brookie's Gin in a Watermelon Slushie"

Episode Synopsis

Eddie Brook, Founder of Cape Byron Distillery & creator of Brookie's Gin, joins us this week to tell us why you need more Gin-based slushies and hammocks in your life, pronto!
Why this pairing works:  This slushie is summer incarnate. It will slay the heat of the day and transport you to the Australian rainforest where Eddie & co. source 17 of the 25 botanicals used for this Gin. Travel somewhere tropical whilst never leaving your backyard hammock.
What makes this Gin Special:

Eddie Brook and his parents have been regenerating a large swath of farmland and turning it back into a rainforest since 1988
Legendary distiller Jim McEwan and Eddie Brook teamed up to make something truly special: a Gin focusing on the fruits and botanicals of this rainforest
Drink in botanicals like Lillypilly Berries, Riperry, and Bottle Brush. They are as fun to say as they are to taste!
