As the days get shorter and the temperature starts to drop, there’s never been a better time to stock the freezer.
Meet four of our favourite island-made vodkas, crafted on Waiheke and designed for everything from winter cocktails to long lunches with friends.
🍃 Kawakawa Vodka
Made with hand-harvested New Zealand kawakawa, this vodka offers subtle peppery spice and earthy botanical character. Smooth, distinctive and unmistakably Kiwi, it shines in a simple soda with lime or as the foundation of a winter martini.
🌶️ Horopito Vodka
A true taste of Aotearoa. Native horopito brings a gentle warming spice and unique flavour profile that makes this vodka unlike anything else on the shelf. Perfect for adventurous cocktail lovers or enjoyed simply over ice to appreciate its complexity.
🌺 Hibiscus Vodka
Bright, floral and beautifully aromatic. Our Hibiscus Vodka delivers delicate notes of hibiscus flowers balanced by the clean, smooth finish of premium New Zealand vodka. Add a splash of soda, shake it into a cosmopolitan, or create your own signature cocktail at home.
🌊 12 Tides Vodka
Pure, crisp and exceptionally smooth. Distilled to showcase the quality of our island-made spirit, 12 Tides is our versatile go-to vodka for everything from espresso martinis to vodka sodas and winter bloody marys. Clean enough to sip, versatile enough to mix.
What makes them even better? They’re crafted right here on Waiheke Island.
Perched on the ridgeline above Cowes Bay, our distillery runs on a philosophy of doing things thoughtfully. We harvest rainwater, utilise solar power, and maintain a spray-free botanical garden that supplies many of the ingredients found throughout our spirits. Sustainability isn’t a marketing exercise for us — it’s simply part of how we choose to operate. Our island home inspires everything we make, and protecting it is part of the journey.
