Gin in the new era — distilled among the world’s most famous wineries.
Witchcraft, with pure science.
Phenomenon · pH-triggered
Blue, until the tonic hits.
Our Blue Bvjalie Gin steeps in blue butterfly pea flower — Clitoria ternatea — for seventy-two hours, then is refined with pure Barossa Valley rainwater. Add tonic, lemon or lime — anything of low pH — and it turns from deep ocean blue to blossom pink, right there in the glass.

Tinny, Lucy, Katrina & big Bertha.
