While newly-minted Sydney arrival Lune Croissanterie is busy settling into the Harbour City, with both a flagship store in Rosebery and a smaller shop in Martin Place, the Melbourne-born bakery has teamed up with Four Pillars for the world’s first croissant gin.
Four Pillars is no stranger to collaborative gins, but this one easily takes the idea of baked goods to a higher level, experimenting with Lune’s signature product for a buttery sip pitched as the perfect brunch tipple.
“Lune croissants are made with nearly double the butter of your average croissant, so we knew that butter had to be a key part of the gin,” explained Four Pillars Head Distiller Sarah Prowse.
Lune’s own clarified butter has been used as the key ingredient, enhanced with almonds roasted in the Four Pillars kitchen, juniper and a wide-ranging bill of botanicals that includes vanilla bean, organic oranges, wattle seed and nutmeg.
The gin will launch this week on Wednesday, February 19 for $80 a bottle. If you’re keen on being the first to try this wildly experimental release, then head on down to the Four Pillars Sydney Lab in Surry Hills. The well-dressed bar and tastings room will be giving away free Lune croissants with the first 50 bottles of gin sold.
After that, you’ll only be able to find Lune’s croissant gin at Dan Murphy’s in Double Bay and BWS in Potts Point.
