The Dark Harvest — A Bold Gin Cocktail with ŽivaGin by Blackmill Distillery
Dark, mysterious and beautifully botanical. Slovenia in a glass.
Where Nature Meets the Night
Some cocktails are made to be seen. The Dark Harvest is made to be experienced. Built around ŽivaGin by Blackmill Distillery, Slovenia’s craft gin with a bold botanical soul, this cocktail transforms in the glass as freeze-dried fruit slowly releases its deep berry hues, creating a drink that is as dramatic as it is delicious.
Watch the colour bloom. Smell the botanicals rise. Then drink.

Dark, Playful and Perfectly Balanced
The magic of the Dark Harvest lies in its transformation. The freeze-dried fruit slowly releases colour and flavour as the drink develops — creating a playful, ever-changing combination of aromas that keeps you coming back for another sip. Bold enough to impress. Easy enough to make at home.
A cocktail that rewards patience. Just like the finest Slovenian craft gin.
