SIZE OF FIRES:
I considered starting my own fundraiser but due to the severity of the fires there are so many people getting together to raise money and donations. I thought it would be easiest to refer people to these existing platforms and fundraisers. I appreciate if you take the time to follow the links above. I have personally donated too and am currently planning a fundraiser with our new gin brand.
-------------------
The Mollymock cocktail is made using a black rum - specifically Bacardi Black, which is aged for 3 years in a heavily charred barrel which features notes of sweet, tropical fruit with a smoky liquorice and molasses finish.
It results in a sweet, bitter and herbal cocktail with a bit of zest from the freshly squeezed lime juice and twist of orange.
