Collection: Pacific Drifter

Pacific Drifter is a spiced cane spirit made at the historic Beenleigh distillery in Queensland — Australia's oldest continuously operating distillery, working since 1884. Fresh local Queensland molasses is distilled to a pure, unaged cane spirit, then infused with cinnamon pods, Madagascan vanilla, and orange and lemon peel.

It's named for the Pacific Drift — the great ocean current that moves anti-clockwise along Australia's east coast, shaping the climate and coastline where the sugarcane grows. The brand's imagery also draws on the Queensland umbrella tree, a native of eastern Australia found along Pacific beaches and rainforests.

It's smooth enough to sip over ice, but it really shines as a mixer. Try it with ginger beer and a wedge of lime for a spiced mule, with cola for a warmer take on the classic, or in a spiced daiquiri where the cinnamon and vanilla add real depth. It also works beautifully in tiki-style cocktails alongside tropical juices.

It's made from Queensland molasses in the same tradition as rum, at the Beenleigh rum distillery, but it's labelled as a spiced cane spirit — the spirit is unaged before infusion, which gives it a brighter, cleaner base than a barrel-aged rum. If you enjoy spiced rum, it will feel very familiar.
