Serving up local Christmas Spirit

The King Island Distillery and helpers, very much enjoyed serving local Christmas Cheers at the Market this year on King Island, Tasmania. The King Island Sunset Martini was a sell out. The other favourites were the King Island Distillery Native Gin and Tonic. People at the market were sipping and smiling as they were shopping locally, other top cocktail choices were our King Island Distillery U-fa-coffee Martini, King Island Peer-less Point New Fashioned and Naughty Native Negroni King Island Gin Cocktail.
