FAQ's

Banks has a fresh taste & robust berry finish that lingers long after the last sip.

Banks has strong Cassia notes which produce a spicy cinnamon flavoured, imbued with subtle hints of lime and lemon myrtle.

Banks is not a non-alcoholic gin. To be considered as a gin a drink needs to contain Juniper and there is no juniper in Banks.

Banks is its own unique non alcoholic native blend of 5 distilled botanicals – lemon myrtle, lime, cassia bark, Tasmanian pepperberry & wattle seed. 

However Banks can be mixed like a Gin to create different styles & flavour profiles of drinks eg. with Tonics or Sodas.  

Banks was made to be mixed (with tonic, soda, or as the base in cocktails) rather than sipped neat.

Alcoholic spirits contain great carriers of flavour in terms of sugar and alcohol and therefore bring strong flavours just neat.

As Banks doesn’t contain alcohol or sugar, we have made it so that it’s flavours & aromatics are best released and most vibrant when mixed with tonic, soda or within cocktails.

Our recommended serve of Banks is:

60ml measure of Banks

over lots of ice

mixed with a premium tonic or soda

Garnish with a slice of lime.

Enjoy!

As Banks doesn’t contain alcohol the botanical flavours in Banks start to dilute when mixed, shaken or stirred with water. 

To enjoy the best flavours from Banks our recommendation is to take steps to reduce the dilution process of the spirit in the drink you are making.  This means “dry shaking” the cocktail (shaking the liquid ingredients in the shaker first) before adding ice to cool the drink down.

Banks is classified as a non-alcoholic beverage. We never add alcohol our process during distillation. However, given that we are dealing with natural botanicals Banks may contain trace elements of alcohol (<0.5% ABV) when consumed without mixing or diluting w/ other non-alcoholic liquids e.g. Tonic. 

When Banks is diluted with a mixer (tonic or soda) at the recommended serve levels, the alcohol level is comparable to the level of alcohol found in orange juice or apple juice.

Sometimes your Bottle of Banks may appear either slightly cloudy or have a small amount of condensation at the top of the bottle. This is because without the alcohol as a bonding agent or preservative the natural botanicals can sometimes separate from the water. It’s perfectly fine and natural.

Just shake the bottle and the flavour elements will dilute & remix. This does not change the taste or performance of Banks.
