How to Drink Cardrona Spirits with Sarah Elsom

Our guest today fell into distilling after years of being a self-proclaimed Pinot chaser. What is it exactly that drew her over to the spirit world?

Sarah Elsom, Master Distiller of the Cardrona Distillery on the South Island of New Zealand, knew she wanted to work in wine from the age of 16. That passion took her all over the world and back again.

When she returned home, she was lucky enough to walk into the fledgling Cardrona Distillery, and she has never left. Cardrona has grown over the years to produce not only award-winning whisky but also vodka, gin, and liqueurs.

Thanks to the miracles of modern science, I was able to chat with Sarah, who guides us through Cardrona’s approach to spirit making while she was in New Zealand and I was home in London!

Here’s the Cardona Raspberry Cooler, perfect for the summer!

INGREDIENTS

40ml The Source Gin
20ml Lemon
10ml Sugar
4 Raspberries
Garnish: more raspberries and mint sprig

METHOD

Grab your highball glass
Drop your raspberries and sugar into the glass and muddle them together until crushed
Add the gin and lemon
Stir well
Add crushed ice
Garnish with raspberries and a mint sprig
