The Hero Ingredient

The stars of the show are rescued from our friends at Citrus WA, a company that produces and supplies fresh pressed citrus juices for Perth bars and restaurants. Each morning, they juice lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruits by hand, winding up with around 1 tonne of citrus husks each week that are destined for the bin. Well, until now. We scoot on over and collect the discarded husks within 24 hours of juicing, then distil them immediately to lock in the fresh flavours. Citrus, you versatile thing: fresh juice in the morning, gin tipple at night. Sorted.

How we made it

Along with the citrus husk magic, we use a range of high quality botanicals and a neutral grape-based spirit (made from high quality left-over grape skins in the Barossa Valley - it’s premium stuff!) to create this gin. Some botanicals are macerated in the boiler with the spirit prior to distillation, but most are suspended within the still to allow only the vapours to pass through them as the spirit is distilled. This vapour infusion captures only the brightest and freshest notes, leaving behind more of the earthy and bitter tones. The spirit is then slowly diluted with pure reverse osmosis filtered water and left to rest for 2-3 weeks to allow the flavours to meld and mellow, before bottling and labelling by hand.

The Rest of the Goods...

We source our botanicals as locally as possible to reduce our carbon footprint

Re-using waste, refreshing taste

We love enjoying a double shot of Final Squeeze with 150ml of light tonic and a slice of ruby grapefruit. Or, for something equal parts sweet and tart,
try it in this classic cocktail:

Southside

  • 60ml Final Squeeze Citrus Gin
  • 20ml Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 20ml Simple Syrup (1 part sugar :1 part water)
  • Small Handful of Fresh Mint (stalks and all

Add all ingredients to a shaker tin with cubed ice, shake hard for 20 seconds, then strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a mint leaf.
