PREMIUM SMALL BATCH GIN, LIQUEURS AND VODKA WITH AN AUSTRALIAN TWIST

The Lost Tide Story

Lost Tide Spirit Co is a micro distillery in Stansbury, on the beautiful Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. Keira & her fiancée Bennett founded and operate Lost Tide Spirit Co, from their cellar door located in the historic Oyster Bay Hotel building on the foreshore.

Both are passionate distillers and cocktail & mixology enthusiasts, they are handcrafting premium small batch gin, cocktail liqueurs and vodkas. They’ve created a range of classic cocktails with an Australian twist, are developing new liqueurs and cocktail recipes and have many more new and exciting things on the horizon.

Lost Tide Spirit Co is named after the unique tidal movements in St Vincent Gulf, just out the front of the cellar door. St Vincent Gulf is one of a few places in the world where the phenomenon of a neap tide occurs, it is called a “dodge” tide in South Australia. 

The scientific explanation behind a dodge tide is that the amplitudes of the main semi-diurnal tide constituents are almost identical, which results in a day-long period of slack water occurring roughly twice a month, where a tide is dodged or as LTSC describe it: “lost”.

Generally on a “lost” tide, fishing is slow, and the surf is pretty flat. We think that it’s a perfect time to enjoy a G&T or a delicious cocktail with friends and family.

Looking forward to the first Stansbury Seaside Market of this season this Saturday October 5th.

Also rather excited about getting set up at our first SYP Agricultural Show next Wednesday October 9th.

We'll have our new Yuzu Vodka with us, plus there's still some of our seasonal Hibiscus Liqueur left too.

Well today certainly is much nicer weather then yesterday here in Stansbury! We're open today until 5pm if you'd like to come say hello ☺️
A small batch of our new Yuzu Vodka is out now! Grab some at the cellar door Saturday & Sunday or on our webstore.

The Yuzu adds bright zesty notes to our Vodka, giving it a citrus forward punch perfect for cocktails and mixed drinks with a citrus twist.

A bit of Thursday mini-still mad science.

A fresh batch of Coffee Liqueur has arrived 😁

Made using Queensland grown Peaberry coffee beans, our coffee liqueur is a bit lighter and fruitier by design.

The coffee is ground and cold brewed by us for 24 hours with vanilla beans, then blended with spirit, and just the right amount of sweetness.

Come and try some at the cellar door Saturday & Sunday 12-5.

The fog has cleared, and it's a beautiful day! 

If you're out and about why not drop past the cellar door for a cheeky sample?

We're very pleased to say that all four of our spirits that we entered into this years Australian Distilled Spirit Awards got awarded a medal.

We are very happy with that first time out. We were really close to a couple more silvers and not far from a gold. 

Thank you to everyone that's tried some and dropped past our new cellar door.

Onwards and upwards!

Cheers,

Keira & Bennett

Big Thyme with Cucumber & Lime.

One of our favourite ways to drink our Big Thyme Gin:

45ml Big Thyme Gin over ice.
Fill glass with equal parts Mischief Brew Tonic No.3 and  sparkling mineral water.
Garnish with a generous amount of lime & cucumber.

We think that Mischief Brew's No.3 Tonic with olive and sea salt pairs perfectly with the savoury notes in the Big Thyme Gin 🤌🍸

Yum.

@mischiefbrew_au
We'll happily mix up a custom 3pk for you out of any of our gin, vodka and liqueurs.

Coffee, Salted Caramel & vodka for an espresso martini? Easy.

Gin & Hibiscus Liqueur for gin sours? Perfect.

Come and say hi at the cellar door Saturday & Sunday 12-5.

Want to book a guided spirit tasting a different day? Get in touch.
