Actress Margot Robbie launches Papa Salt Gin

The newest celebrity to join the spirit owner group is Actress Margot Robbie. She has announced the launch of her new gin, Papa Salt. She will join fellow celebrity gin owners, Ryan Reynolds, Emma Watson and newly announced, Brad Pitt with his Gin, The Gardener Gin

Robbie and her gin-loving friends (and husband) dreamt of creating their own spirit with a simple goal of creating a gin that will compliment any soda, taste great with tonic, and make a mean martini. Fifty nine recipes, and many joy filled sunny afternoons of gin tasting later, we present you with Papa Salt.

Papa Salt is an easy-drinking gin that celebrates the subtle taste of native Australian botanicals. Flavours are brightened with zesty wax flower, hibiscus and citrus peel—all wrapped up with subtle hints of nutty wattleseed, the mild spice of pink peppercorn and an unmistakable minerality from a hint of oyster shell. Yes, there’s a lot to it, but in the end we hope you notice just how easy it is to drink.

Have it long or short, this gin was made for sessionable drinking — our go-to is a generous pour of Papa Salt, with soda, lots of ice and a wedge of fresh grapefruit.

The gin is bottled at 43% ABV and is made in Byron Bay, Australia. It is available to purchase via Iconic Beverages for RRP AU$85 (US$56.86).
