Margaret River small bar and restaurant Morries has revealed plans to make cocktail drinking “practically healthy” for the silly season. Exclusive to Morries, Indian Summer is a sugar-free turmeric and blood orange gin and tonic created by mixologist Billy Phillips, and the venue hopes the new creation will be this festive seasons hottest cocktail. “Turmeric is known for its health benefits and anti-inflammatory properties, blood orange and citrus fruits are packed with vitamin C and anti-oxidants. “We make the tonic in-house, packing it full of probiotics,” said Phillips, the WA Good Food Guides 2017 Barman of the Year. “What many people dont realise is that standard tonic water is full of sugar, its almost as high as Coca-Cola. “We make our turmeric tonic sugar-free, using agave and honey to sweeten it. “Indian Summer contains four kinds of citrus juice, lemon, lime, grapefruit and blood orange, its crazy delicious,” Phillips said. “Gin is typically made with juniper berries, coriander, cassia bark, angelica root and rosemary and other herbs. “Id say itd be the healthiest spirit on the market today.” Owner of Morries Dave Astbury said that Indian Summer was offered on tap at the bar which meant the venue was able to release the drink without packaging, making it an environmentally friendly choice. “Weve had Indian Summer on tap for a while and its a proven hit, so were keeping it on tap over the summer,” said Astbury.
