Transport Yourself To The Coast Of Italy With This Immersive Auckland Gin Experience

Keep your winter blues at bay with a splash of colour and summer flavour, and bask in the brilliant yellows of an Italian lemon grove; which inspired the name of the menu Andiamo Al Limoneto, aka; let’s go to the lemon grove.

Andiamo, one of Herne Bay’s popular watering holes, is doing everything in its power to prolong the summer season. For which we are eternally grateful! The immersive experience and expertly curated cocktail list showcase the beautiful Italian southern coastline and everything associated with it. The cocktails are fresh, fruity and simply delicious. They inspire memories of sun-soaked lunches and days spent lounging at the beach.

All month long, you and your crew can stop by and indulge in everything Malfy. For the die-hard G&T fans, you can spice things up with one of Malfy’s unforgettable flavours, the rosa gin (pink grapefruit) is our go-to. Celebrate your fondness of citrus with the con Limone, the blood orange or the classic Malfy. With a range of Fever Tree tonic to pick from, you can personalise your experience and experiment with new flavours.

While we will never turn our nose up at a Malfy G+T, the fastest way to our hearts is with cocktails. On the Andiamo Al Limoneto menu, there are four terrific cocktails to choose from, each more intricate than the last. The negroni cioccolato is a classic gin cocktail with a twist, made with Malfy Con Arancia, Sweet Vermouth and Cacao Nib Campari; this tipple is perfect for those of you who love a slightly bitter drink. The inclusion of Malfy’s blood orange gin is heavenly.

If you have an adventurous palate and a preference for gin sours, the Mediterranean Clover Club is the cocktail for you. The tropical flavours are hard to resist, with Malfy con Limone, basil, raspberry, lemon, bitters and whites; this cocktail is perfectly balanced with a centre of sweet and sour. While we would never pick a favourite, this one is a top contender!

Let’s dabble in The Amalfi Coast cocktail; the simple yet unforgettable combination pairs Malfy Originale with Blue Curacao, Lillet Blanc and lemon. The funky coloured cocktail inspires daydreams of its namesake, and the flavour profile provides all the summer vibes we need; fruity and refreshing.

Last but not least, Sol Italiano or, as we would like to call it, happiness in a glass, is by far the most-summery cocktail on the menu. Pairing Malfy Rosa (pink grapefruit) with Aperol, strawberries, ginger and cucumber. Somehow this tasty creation flawlessly straddles the line between bitter to sweet. The carefully crafted cocktail explodes with flavour, from the fresh cucumber to the spice of ginger, the bitterness of the grapefruit to the sweetness of strawberries. Delicious.

We will continue to sing Andiamo’s praises over this cocktail menu until the end! Make sure to head on down before the collaboration finishes. You will forever regret not having tried these amazing cocktails. Whether you need a winter pick-me-up or are looking for a weekend spot for you and your friends, Andiamo never disappoints!
