🍸 The Elixirs & the Feast
On these rare gatherings, four carefully chosen elixirs from The Witches’ Brew Craft Gin will be revealed—each paired with a dish crafted to awaken and balance its spirit.
🌿 Pairing One
Celtic Fae Fern – a bright, woodland-fresh gin born of strawberry leaves, Russian tarragon, gentle stevia, and warming allspice. Light, green, and irresistibly refreshing—like morning dew dancing through an enchanted glade.
🍽 Paired with: Calamari stuffed with celeriac
🍍 Pairing Two
Wit Blix’m – playful and electric, infused with juicy pineapple, bold cinnamon, and cooling mint. A spell of fire and frost that tingles with excitement and mischief.
🍽 Paired with: Yorkshire with Crispy Pork Belly
✨ Pairing Three
Rosemary Brite – luminous and herbaceous, where rosemary, hibiscus, and mandarin meet in perfect balance, glowing with clarity and warmth.
🍽 Paired with: Beef & Asparagus on Pave
🌹 Pairing Four
English Charm – elegant, comforting, and quietly captivating; a gin of poise and old-world grace that lingers like a fond memory.
🍽 Paired with: Apple Rose Tartan
