MANDRAKE
CUCUMBER & MINT GIN
Born of the forest and distilled with a unique blend of botanicals, this premium Cucumber gin is the stuff of legend. Imminent death awaits those who hear its scream.
Beware of the root. Beware of the cry.

THE TALE BEHIND THE TASTE
Step into the forest, if you dare, but beware of what waits under foot.
The mandrake root, or 'Mandragora Officiarum', is a thing of danger
and mischief.
As folklore would have it, the mandrake root screams when pulled from the ground, killing anyone unfortunate enough to hear its cries. When ingested, it is said to excite delirium and madness. But, hey, who believes in folklore?
The mandrake tale takes its cues from folklore and cinema. Harry Potter fans will be familiar with the repotting of the Mandrake seedlings scene in the Chamber of Secrets. The cries are not yet fatal, but capable of ‘knocking you out for a few hours’.
This gin shines as an entree in our four course Ginner Party. Craving more? We also have a main course, dessert and cheese course gin!
Whether enjoyed as a refreshing gin and tonic or in a classic southside cocktail, Mandrake Cucumber and Mint gin is sure to elevate your dining experience.
