The Salted Desert - a dirty Aussie gimlet/martini hybrid based on the Salted Lime Gin from Backwoods Distilling Co @backwoodsdistillingco
The gin is a zesty dry gin made using desert limes, finger limes, Old Man Saltbush (yes, that's the name of the plant) and Murray River Pink Salt. So the salt, saltbush and desert limes give you what might otherwise come from olive brine in a classic dirty martini.
The Regal Rogue Daring Dry Vermouth adds some crisp sharpness to the drink @regalrogue
And the other two ingredients were a small amount of lime juice (hence the gimlet reference) and a couple of dashes of celery bitters, adding some herbaceousness and more crispness.
It was very easy to drink - almost too easy for a drink with 60ml of gin in it.
We picked up this gin on our recent travels in regional Victoria. The distillery is in Yackandandah (can't get a much more Aussie name than that), though we picked up the gin from a great little bottleshop in Bright which promoted a lot of regional products (where "promoted" includes generous free tastings!) @liquidgoldcellars_bright
