WHAT IT'S LIKE

The saltiness of the pickle brine accentuates the savoury notes of the mustard gin. It's a classic culinary flavour combination - it's just that no-one has thought of drinking it before.

JAMES' TASTING NOTES

Mustard and pickles. Now available as a cocktail, so you can save money on crisps (or chips if you're American).

American Mustard

Sale price$49.99

American Mustard (previously known as ‘Ramstud’ in the US) distils the essential flavours of the United States - hot-dog mustard and dill pickles to create something really spectacular.

It is therefore the perfect accompaniment to every traditional American fast food recipe, but we don't recommend using it as a garnish. That would be a waste.
