Hand crafted Gin distilled in the Reikorangi Valley, Kapiti Coast, New Zealand

Our latest release, Yuzu Lemonade Vodka, flew out the door over summer - and after a short break we’re excited to say it’s officially back in stock.

The response was so good that we’ve decided to make it a permanent part of the Imagination range, so you can enjoy that bright, refreshing yuzu citrus hit all year round.

Zesty Japanese yuzu meets handcrafted lemonade… crafted for grown-ups. 🍋

The damson harvest is done for another year. 🍑

Over the past few weeks we’ve had an incredible 940kg of damson plums delivered to the distillery, all picked from backyards and local trees by our amazing community of suppliers.

A huge thank you to everyone who brought fruit in, and to our hardworking team who sorted, processed and craft this year’s harvest into the unique plum gin you all love.

Now the waiting begins. The plums are resting and doing their thing — and with a little time and patience we’ll have a fresh release ready this May.

Great spirits always start with great ingredients (and a great community).

🌿 Coastal Basil Smash

Fresh, vibrant and packed with coastal character - the Wakame & Lime Basil Smash is a garden-meets-ocean twist on a modern classic. Herbaceous basil, bright citrus and the subtle umami of wakame create a cocktail that’s crisp, refreshing and unmistakably Imagination.

Recipe:
• 50ml Imagination Wakame & Lime Gin
• 20ml fresh lemon juice
• 15ml simple syrup (adjust to taste)
• A generous handful of fresh basil leaves

Method:
Add basil, lemon juice and syrup to a shaker and gently muddle to release the oils.
Add gin and ice, shake hard, then double strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice.

Garnish with a fresh basil sprig and a slice of lime.

Coastal. Fresh. Effortless. 🌊🌿

Our Yuzu Lemonade Vodka contains 30% cold-pressed yuzu juice-and if you’ve tasted it, you’ll know exactly why it’s so bright, bold, and delicious. But here’s the secret: every bottle also contains 10g of zested yuzu peel, giving this vodka its unmistakable citrus punch.
