Imagination Strawberry 700ml

Imagination Strawberry 700ml brings a vibrant, fruit-forward character to the gin category, balancing juniper backbone with the fresh, sun-ripened sweetness of strawberries. This expression from the Imagination Distillery showcases a thoughtful approach to flavoured gin, where botanical clarity remains front and centre rather than surrendering to cloying sweetness. The result is a versatile, brightly coloured spirit that works equally well in classic serves and contemporary cocktail creations.

The distillery infuses their base gin with real strawberries, allowing the fruit’s natural character to complement rather than overwhelm the traditional gin botanicals. Juniper presence remains evident throughout, providing structure and that essential gin identity, while the strawberry imparts a gentle sweetness and aromatic lift. The production method ensures the fruit flavour reads as authentic rather than artificial, a hallmark of Imagination’s Forager’s Series approach to seasonal and botanical experimentation.

Nose: Fresh strawberry aromas lead, followed by hints of juniper and a delicate floral note that adds complexity without distraction.

Palate: Bright berry sweetness meets classic gin spice, with a balanced texture that feels neither syrupy nor thin. The strawberry flavour is pronounced but never cloying, maintaining integrity alongside cardamom warmth and citrus undertones. Sipped neat, it offers a fruit-driven but credibly gin-like experience that rewards patient tasting.

Finish: Clean and moderately long, with lingering berry notes and a gentle juniper echo that invites the next sip.

In a classic gin and tonic, Imagination Strawberry transforms the serve into something celebratory and visually striking, with the fruit character amplified by quality tonic water and a fresh berry garnish. It shines in a Strawberry Rhubarb Gin Cocktail, where its natural affinity with tart rhubarb creates a refreshing balance ideal for sharing with seafood or lighter dishes. The gin also works beautifully in a Berry Collins or a Strawberry Gin Spritz, where effervescence and citrus highlight its versatile botanical profile.

This is a gin for home bartenders looking to explore fruit-forward serves without sacrificing botanical integrity, and for gin enthusiasts who appreciate craft distilling and seasonal flavour exploration. It’s equally suited to casual entertaining and as a thoughtful gift for anyone drawn to colourful, accessible craft spirits with genuine flavour depth. A standout choice for those who value both the visual theatre and genuine taste complexity that modern New Zealand gin can deliver.
