3 Gin Cocktails to Celebrate World Gin Day

World Gin Day is back. A small pause in the calendar made for alpine gin-spiration, a good pour, and the kind of easy moments that are best shared.

Saturday 13 June 2026 marks World Gin Day, and to celebrate we’re bringing back our Gin & Tonic Trio Party Pack — saving a whopping $101 for gin lovers looking to stock up.

Alongside it, we’ve put together three easy gin cocktails you can make at home. Simple, refreshing, and designed to bring a little of the Snowy Mountains into your glass.

And if you’re curious, there’s also a glimpse into our own gin story — how it all came to be, one batch at a time.

Our Gin Story

Nestled in the heart of the Snowy Mountains, Wildbrumby Distillery has always been guided by a simple idea: exceptional spirits begin with pure mountain water, carefully chosen botanicals, and a quiet balance between art and science.

Our gin is shaped by alpine spring water with a naturally refined mineral profile, and a distinctive blend of juniper, native mountain pepper berry, and organic citrus grown in the family orchard. The result is a spirit that sits soft in the glass—smooth, rounded, and quietly expressive.

Wildbrumby’s journey didn’t begin with gin. It began with schnapps, inspired by founder Brad Spalding’s time in the Austrian Alps. From those early days of traditional distilling in the Snowy Mountains, the path evolved through fruit liqueurs, vodka, and wine-based spirits—each step refining a deeper understanding of flavour, provenance, and texture.

Over time, that focus led naturally to gin. A spirit where balance matters as much as character, and where alpine botanicals could speak clearly and without distraction. The result is an award-winning expression of Australian alpine craft—recognised for its purity, complexity, and distinctive mouthfeel.

For World Gin Day, we’re celebrating with three simple cocktails designed to let that character shine. Nothing complicated—just bright, refreshing serves that highlight citrus, fruit, spice, and botanicals in equal measure. Think easy G&Ts with a twist, a sparkling fruit-forward collins, and a smooth, slightly spiced alpine-style classic.

Sip the spirit of the Snowy Mountains and get gin-spired.
