As a gin enthusiast, discovering Odd Society’s Strawberry Wallflower Gin was a delightful surprise. One sip, and it instantly found its place in the holiday spirit I’ve been embracing—naturally, a bottle made its way into my shopping cart.
This gin is truly refreshing: crisp and light, with none of the lingering aftertastes that can sometimes leave your palate confused or weighed down. Odd Society keeps it simple yet sophisticated, and in this case, simplicity speaks volumes.
Here’s how they describe it:
“Our trademark gin blushes a gorgeous pink from being steeped in Fraser Valley strawberries grown in Driediger Farms. Infused with fragrant wet-coast and international botanicals, this charming spirit boasts fresh and juicy strawberry notes that compliment Wallflower’s signature citrus and floral profile. Sweet on the nose and tart on the palate, this is exquisite in cocktails and makes a lovely addition to your favourite tonic.”
While tonic water may be perfect for warmer weather, right now, I’m fully in holiday mode. Instead of a summery pairing, I decided to go for something with a festive kick. Enter my creation: the Strawberry Santa Martini.
This cheerful concoction blends Strawberry Wallflower Gin, cinnamon and peppermint liqueurs, and a dash of orange bitters. I rimmed the glass with sugar, slipped into my coziest wooly socks, and settled in to watch one of my favorite holiday classics from childhood. (Can you guess which one?)
I’ll definitely revisit this gin in summer with a tonic in hand, but for now, it’s the perfect holiday companion. Odd Society’s Strawberry Wallflower Gin is a serious recommendation for anyone looking to elevate their seasonal sipping.
Delicious.
