The Elixirs & the Feast

On these rare gatherings, four carefully chosen elixirs from The Witches’ Brew Craft Gin will be revealed—each paired with a dish crafted to awaken and balance its spirit.


Pairing One

Celtic Fae Fern – a bright, woodland-fresh gin born of strawberry leaves, Russian tarragon, gentle stevia, and warming allspice. Light, green, and irresistibly refreshing—like morning dew dancing through an enchanted glade.

Paired with: Calamari stuffed with celeriac


Pairing Two

Wit Blix’m – playful and electric, infused with juicy pineapple, bold cinnamon, and cooling mint. A spell of fire and frost that tingles with excitement and mischief.

Paired with: Yorkshire with Crispy Pork Belly


Pairing Three

Rosemary Brite – luminous and herbaceous, where rosemary, hibiscus, and mandarin meet in perfect balance, glowing with clarity and warmth.

Paired with: Beef & Asparagus on Pave


Pairing Four

English Charm – elegant, comforting, and quietly captivating; a gin of poise and old-world grace that lingers like a fond memory.

Paired with: Apple Rose Tartan


About the Magic

At the heart of every elixir lies Labradorite Magic—the original gin.

Triple distilled with sacred juniper, six additional botanicals, and whispered magical seasonings, it forms the base of nine unique blends.

On this day, four will be unveiled and paired in ritual harmony.
