Anty gin, which is literally made with ants as a botanical, started as an idea from the Nordic Food Lab – an organisation run by Noma’s Rene Redzepi and gastro-preneur Claus Meyer – and was brought to life by the Cambridge Distillery. This Anglo-Danish vegan nightmare contains the essence of precisely 62 ants, which add a citrus flavour to the gin and are used instead of the more traditional orange or lemon peel.

Although Anty gin is, perhaps unsurprisingly, the world’s first gin made from ants, it is not the first time that ants have ever been distilled – centuries ago they were distilled to create formic acid, which is useful as a preservative and antibacterial agent.

Due to the labour-intensive production process this gin is made in very small batches, and we don’t ant-icipate batch 007 hanging around for long.

Cambridge Anty Gin

Cambridge Anty Gin is a unique and exotic gin that boasts a botanical ingredient that isn’t usually found in any other gin – ants. Yes, you heard it right, ants. This gin is created using a special ingredient, the red wood ants that are sourced sustainably from the forests of Northern Sweden.

The idea behind the inclusion of ants in Cambridge Anty Gin is to add a unique flavor profile that is not found in any other gin. The ants give the gin a distinct sour berry flavor that complements the other botanicals used in creating the gin. In addition to ants, other botanicals infused in this unique gin include juniper, coriander seed, lemon peel, and cardamom. The result is a complex and flavorful gin that is the perfect choice for gin enthusiasts looking for something different and unique.

The production process for Cambridge Anty Gin is quite intricate. The red wood ants are dried and ground into a powder, which is then added to a neutral grain spirit to extract their flavor. This process yields a liquid that is blended with other botanicals to create the finished product. The product is then bottled and labeled, ready for distribution.

This exquisite gin has won several awards, including the “Best New Product” award at the World Gin Awards in 2018. The company behind the gin, Nordic Food Lab, is a research institution that focuses on the culinary potential of the Nordic region. They use unconventional ingredients to create unique food and drink products, and Cambridge Anty Gin is one of their most popular products to date.

In terms of serving suggestions, Cambridge Anty is best enjoyed with a premium tonic water and a slice of lemon or lime. The sour berry flavor of the ants pairs perfectly with the bitterness of the tonic water, creating a refreshing and delicious cocktail. This gin is also great for use in creative cocktails or for adding a unique twist to classic gin drinks.

In conclusion, Cambridge Anty is a bold and adventurous gin that is not for the faint of heart. The inclusion of ants may be a turn-off for some, but for those willing to try something new, this gin is sure to impress. Its unique flavor profile and sustainable sourcing make it a favorite among gin lovers and experts alike.
