The Pav

An Australian Christmas Gin tribute to the iconic Aussie dessert, created by Dave from our distillery. 

We put The Pav on as a special in Healesville and everyone went mad for it. Since then we’ve received countless requests for the recipe. The original uses fancy machinery and techniques, but good ol’ Dave has made some tweaks so you can enjoy it all year round. 

To assemble the cocktail, we highly recommend using a milkshake maker. It takes a serious amount of shaking to get that nice top layer and a milkshake maker cuts out a lot of the hard work. A cocktail shaker will do but you’ll have to use some serious muscle and shake for an extended period of time to achieve the foamy texture.
