What’s in the Drink?
Let’s get straight to it:
Base: A locally distilled gin infused with lemon myrtle
Zing: Native finger lime pearls, think citrus caviar that pops
Shock: Green ants, yes, really. Crunchy, citrusy, and weirdly addictive
Garnish: Bush mint, edible flowers, and a killer yarn to go with it
It’s part science, part bush magic. And it doesn’t come with a paper umbrella. It comes with flavour and flair.
Why Finger Lime and Green Ants Work (Yes, Really)
It sounds like a dare, but it tastes like a revelation.
Finger lime brings a sharp, vibrant citrus burst that wakes up your palate
Green ants add a surprising lemon-lime tang, enhancing the botanicals in the gin
Together they slice through sweetness and elevate the complexity of the cocktail
You’ll go from “no way” to “more please” before the first sip is finished.
The Story Behind the Sip
Before launching Sydney’s most native-forward food tour, our founder was pitching billion-dollar deals in the finance world. Now? He’s pouring cocktails and telling stories you’ll never hear in a boardroom.
After watching too many guests fly 15 hours to eat airport food, he built a tour that showcases native flavours like wattleseed, saltbush, and yes, green ants. This cocktail isn’t a gimmick. It’s a flavour-forward, culture-rich rebellion against boring.
