Musgrave Crafted Spirits launches first alcohol-free spiritINSPIRIT
Musgrave Crafted Spirits, known for disrupting the luxury spirits industry, has launched INSPIRIT – an aromatic, alcohol-free infusion made with 12 rare botanicals inspired by the ancient spice route of Africa.
After many hours of tinkering and experimenting INSPIRIT is distinctive in flavour, pink in colour, and delivers a light and elegant alternative to Musgrave’s other botanical offerings. Infused with cardamom and juniper notes that complement those of African ginger, lime, and grains of paradise, gives it a harmonious and fragrant finish.
“INSPIRIT is all about finding the balance. The pandemic has certainly highlighted the relationship many people have with alcohol and as a result has ignited a move to reduce one’s daily intake. Whether you’re looking to cut down on calories or stick to a fitness routine, consuming less alcohol during these times can really help to maintain a balanced lifestyle. It then makes those days when you do enjoy a Musgrave Original Gin or Pink Gin cocktail, that more special.” Says Simone Musgrave, owner, and founder of Musgrave Crafted Spirits.
Musgrave Pink was South Africa’s original pink gin, which has been the inspiration for INSPIRIT and was developed with the same pioneering spirit of adventure. Born out of the African explorations of the Musgrave Family at the turn of the 19th Century. The family’s tale is one of adventure and discovery, embodied in the tenacious spirit of patriarch Maurice Boon Musgrave.
My favourite way to enjoy this yummy newcomer to the gin world, is to enhance the natural flavours of Musgrave Crafted Spirits with a tangy, spring-essential base of a cocktail. Tag me if you try the following recipe!
- 1 cup of ice
- 1 1/2 tots of Musgrave Inspirit
- 240ml freshly pressed naartjie or orange juice, blended in a Nutribullet or store bought from Checkers
- 1/5 cup crushed ice
- 1 chilled glass
- Thyme and pink peppercorns for garnish
Shake your ice and Musgrave Inspirit in a metal mixer until cooled, then add your naartjie or soft citrus juice. Shake a bit more, then pour over your crushed ice in a chilled glass. Garnish with fresh thyme and some pink peppercorns to serve at your next dinner party!
