Cocktail Pairings
This gin’s citrus vibrancy makes it a natural for refreshing classics and bright summer serves. A Lemon Gin & Tonic with a fresh peel garnish highlights its zest, while a French 75 brings sophistication. For something fun, try a Bees Knees with honey syrup or a Lemon Gin Fizz for light, frothy refreshment. A Lemon Gimlet provides a crisp, elegant finish.
Craftsmanship & Story
Born in the heart of New Zealand’s lush West Coast rainforest, Little Biddy Gin is inspired by the pioneering spirit of local legend Little Biddy. Foraged botanicals, pure West Coast water, and meticulous small-batch distilling create a gin that reflects the untamed wilderness of Reefton. Zest celebrates this heritage with a citrus-driven twist, designed to bring sunshine to every glass.
