Combining her passion for creating delicious gin using locally sourced botanicals, with her special knack for digital marketing, she has created a visual experience through Papaiti Gin’s social media presence, taking followers along their journey of opening a craft gin distillery. Note: The day after recording this episode, Papaiti Gin received their off-license and can now sell their products directly to customers.You can find and follow Papaiti Gin at:https://papaitigin.co.nz/FacebookInstagramYou can find and follow GINspired at:  Order your copy of GINSPIRED: The Ultimate Gin Cookbook TODAY https://theginshop.ca/ (for all your GINtastic clothing and fun gin-related novelty items)FacebookInstagramPinterest      Support the showWant your very own Gin Tasting Journal to track all your gintastic experiences?
