Description
Amuerte Coca Gin - Red Edition
The history of the cocaine plant goes back to the Incan Empire, who used the plant in many ways, from fighting hunger, to curing various sicknesses.
Whilst travelling, the founders of Amuerte witnesses a local tribe chewiong on cocaine leaves. Trying themselves, they discovered the unique flavour inherent there. Having a history dating back well over 100 years in the making of gin, they utilised the knowledge and experience to create a gin with passion, One which contained the vivacious coca leaf flavour (which has a similar flavour to green tea) which they blended with other botanicals.
With their red edition (which is a strictly limited edition, with only 25,000 bottles being available across the whole world), Amuerte have enhanced their signature coca leaf flavour with the Pineberry.
The Pineberry is a really intruiging fruit. Looking like an unripened strawberry (white in colour), it has a taste more reminiscent of pineapple with strawberry hints.
This is a fresh take on the typical Amuerte gin. Fruity with tropical notes and a subtle hint of strawberry.

Perfect Serve
To fully enjoy the flavours found in this gin it's best enjoyed with a neutral tonic (and we recommend Double Dutch Indian Tonic for this one). Pour 50ml of the gin into a glass filled with ice, and add 100 - 150ml of the tonic. Garnish with a slice of fresh pineapple - and if you like things a little spicy, a small slice of red pepper.
