🥚 Marula Gin + Hot Cross Bun & Cream Cheese Bites with Orange Zest

Mini toasted hot cross bun halves topped with a light spread of whipped cream cheese and a sprinkle of fresh orange zest, optionally finished with a tiny mint leaf.

Why It Works:

Marula Gin’s naturally smooth, slightly fruity, and nutty profile pairs beautifully with the spiced, raisin-rich notes of a hot cross bun.

The cream cheese adds a mellow richness that softens the spice and bridges the gin's juniper and marula fruit tones.

The orange zest brightens the bite, echoing any citrus botanicals in the gin and enhancing the overall freshness.

The mint leaf (if added) adds a delicate herbal lift, mirroring botanical elements in the gin.

Presentation Tip:

Serve on a wooden platter with small Marula Gin & tonic tasters garnished with a twist of orange peel and a sprig of mint. Add speckled mini chocolate eggs around the platter for a festive Easter touch.

Enjoy

Pairing your African Craft Baobab Gin with a snack that complements its exotic tropical flavors, particularly the sweet-and-sour notes of green mango, can elevate the tasting experience. The multi-award-winning master distiller recommends enjoying this premium gin with mango and fresh mint. Building on this suggestion, a Mango and Mint Bruschetta would make an excellent accompaniment.

Mango and Mint Bruschetta Recipe:

Ingredients:

Fresh baguette or ciabatta bread

Ripe mango, finely diced

Fresh mint leaves, chopped

Creamy goat cheese or ricotta

Olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Slice the bread into thin pieces and toast them until golden brown.

Spread a layer of goat cheese or ricotta on each toasted slice.

Top with diced mango and a sprinkle of chopped mint.

Drizzle with a touch of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Serve immediately alongside a glass of African Craft Baobab Gin.

This bruschetta combines the sweetness of mango with the refreshing zest of mint, mirroring the gin's flavor profile and enhancing the overall tasting experience.

For additional pairing ideas, consider the following options that align with the gin's botanical notes:

Smoked Salmon Blinis: The subtle smokiness of salmon complements the citrus undertones of the gin, creating a harmonious balance.

Assorted Nuts: A selection of nuts offers a contrasting texture and saltiness that balances the gin's sweet and sour notes.

Ginger Prawns: The gentle heat from ginger pairs well with the gin's tropical flavors, adding depth to the pairing.

These pairings are designed to enhance the unique characteristics of your African Craft Baobab Gin, offering a delightful culinary journey through complementary flavors and textures.

Here are some fun facts about how Honeybush Gin is made! 🌿🍸

💛 1. Inspired by Nature – Honeybush is a native South African plant, closely related to rooibos. It grows wild in the fynbos region, soaking up the country’s rich biodiversity, which gives it its unique floral aroma and natural sweetness.

🔥 2. Slow Infusion for Maximum Flavor – The honeybush is carefully dried and steeped like tea before being distilled into gin, allowing its delicate honeyed, floral, and slightly spicy notes to shine.

🍃 3. Small Batch, Big Flavor – Our Honeybush Gin is crafted in small batches, ensuring every bottle gets the perfect balance of botanicals, juniper, and honeybush essence.

🌞 4. Naturally Caffeine-Free – Unlike traditional tea botanicals, honeybush contains zero caffeine—so you can sip it all evening without a buzz (well, except for the gin 😉).

🏆 5. Distilled by a Master – Our multi-award-winning master distiller carefully selects the perfect ratio of ingredients, crafting a smooth, premium gin that’s best served with a sprig of rosemary and a slice of lemon.
