The Salty Dog is simple, sharp, and unapologetically coastal. With just two ingredients and a salt-rimmed glass, it lets Mountains to Sea gin speak for itself — layered with horopito’s heat, manuka’s earthiness, and the briny echo of kelp.
This is a drink for wind-blown afternoons and weathered hands. For quiet beach walks and tales told with a wink. It’s both refreshing and grounding — like diving into cold water, then sitting by a driftwood fire.
No fuss. No garnish. Just a story in every sip.
