An Australian distillery is selling gin-filled baubles to decorate Christmas trees this festive season - and they re flying out of stock.
Gingle Bells makes the ornaments with craft spirits in its distillery in Sydney s northwest, infusing each bauble with one of six native Australian syrups to give them a unique flavour and festive colour.
Flavours include finger lime, wattleseed, snow chrysanthemum, wild hibiscus and pepperberry, with sprigs of native plants and flowers floating inside each container.
The decorations - which come in sets of six for $79 - can be ordered online from the brand s website to bring something a little different to your home this year.
With two flagship drops, The Melbourne Gin Company has got any gin lover sorted this Christmas

Gift the gift of gin this Christmas.
You’d be right in thinking Australia is enjoying a boutique spirits boom at present. But perhaps, in contrast to how eagerly you’ve embraced craft beer or vegan wine, you’re a little stumped about where to begin. Let’s try a little questionnaire to point you in the right direction.
Are you in Melbourne? Do you like gin? Do you like supporting local business? Do you appreciate gins of flavour, character and distinction? If you answered yes to three or more of those questions, then we’d like to introduce you to The Melbourne Gin Company.
