Introducing Rescue Roast Gin-Infused Coffee

Where Premium Coffee Meets Botanical Craftsmanship

Coffee lovers are always looking for something new.

Whether it's exploring different coffee origins, discovering unique brewing methods or experimenting with exciting flavour profiles, part of the joy of coffee is the opportunity to experience something unexpected.

That's exactly what inspired the creation of our newest addition:

Rescue Roast Gin-Infused Coffee

This unique coffee combines the rich flavour of freshly roasted specialty coffee with carefully selected gin-inspired botanicals, creating a coffee experience unlike anything else in the Rescue Roast range.

The result is a smooth, aromatic coffee with subtle botanical notes that complement rather than overpower the natural flavour of the coffee.

It's bold, intriguing and unmistakably different.


What Is Gin-Infused Coffee?

Gin-infused coffee is coffee that has been infused with the flavours and aromas associated with traditional gin botanicals.

These may include ingredients such as:

✔ Juniper

✔ Citrus peel

✔ Coriander seed

✔ Angelica root

✔ Botanical spices

These flavours are introduced in a way that complements the coffee rather than masking it.

The goal is not to make coffee taste like a gin and tonic.

The goal is to create a unique coffee experience that combines the complexity of specialty coffee with the aromatic character of premium gin botanicals.


Does Gin-Infused Coffee Contain Alcohol?

This is one of the most common questions.

No.

Rescue Roast Gin-Infused Coffee is intended to deliver botanical flavour and aroma, not alcohol.

It is still coffee.

The focus remains firmly on delivering an exceptional coffee-drinking experience.
