The Broadside Salt & Pepper Negroni Cans

Our twist on the timeless aperitif cocktail The Negroni. A balance of Campari, sweet vermouth, The Broadside Salty Navy Strength Gin and two native Tasmanian Pepperberry's added to each can creates a deliciously unique flavor profile perfect for starting off your night or cleansing your palate between meals.

Pre-diluted with natural spring water - simply crack your tin and pour over ice. We recommend a zest of orange for garnish then you're ready to go. Enjoy!

Banksia Honey

 

HISTORY/ BOTANY

Excerpt from The Australian National Botanic Gardens Centre for Australian National Biodiversity Research

South Western Australia contains the greatest diversity of banksias, with 60 species recorded. They are also an important part of the flora of Australia's Eastern Coast.

Few banksias are found in the arid regions of Australia or in the rainforests of the Eastern Coast. The flower heads are made up of hundreds (sometimes thousands) of tiny individual flowers grouped together in pairs. The colour of the flower heads usually ranges from yellow to red. Many species flower over Autumn and Winter.

The fruits of banksias (called follicles) are hard and woody and are often grouped together to resemble cones (they are not ­true cones as these are produced only by conifers).

The fruits protect the seeds from foraging animals and from fire. In many species the fruits will not open until they have been burnt or completely dried out.
