TICKLED VIOLET & THEN PINK

West Coast Distillers’ Belladonna Night Shade Gin is unlike any other gin on the market – not just because of its striking packaging but because it changes colour, starting as a pretty light violet/lilac colour when poured from the bottle, and then turning to a deep and striking pink when tonic is added.The berries which are responsible for this fun party trick (Solanum Nigrum) also add to its distinctively complex, yet well-balanced flavour profile.The distillation process brings out a juniper profile, with subtle floral and citrus notes in the background. The night shade berries are infused after distillation adding sweet and fruity tart flavours which linger in the mouth. Belladonna Night Shade is best enjoyed with a premium Indian tonic, or in a large selection of cocktails. A gin sour cocktail is highly recommended, both for appearance and taste.
