Taste Fresh…

Snapper Rocks was built around an idea. Taste Fresh. Inspired by our relaxed Australia beach culture, fun, sun, great food, bbq and a quiet crisp ale or rosé.

Our food is based around great local produce. Fresh sustainable local produce; less processed and less artificial ingredients — resulting in big, bold natural flavours

🌿 NEW DROP: Ancient Lands Finger Lime Gin 🌿 🌿 NEW DROP: Ancient Lands Finger Lime Gin 🌿

This one’s got territory in its DNA.
Grown, distilled, bottled, and obsessed over — right here in the NT.

At the heart of it? Brendan’s finger lime farm out at Berry Springs — the only commercial finger lime farm we know of in the NT (how good’s that?). We took those little citrus bombs and built something wild, zesty and seriously special around them.

💥 Think: juniper and citrus, warm spice and floral highs — with a burst of that juicy, tart finger lime magic in every sip. It’s zingy, it’s bold, and it’s got layers you didn’t see coming.

Made in tiny batches. Packed with native botanicals.
This gin isn’t just a drink — it’s a story in a bottle.

🎉 Available now at Snapper Rocks and select local spots.
NT-grown. Territory proud. Explosively good.

🥭 Long week? Long weekend? You know what that m 🥭 Long week? Long weekend? You know what that means… 🥭

It’s officially KP Mango Daiquiri season. 🍹
(Or as we like to call it — “mandatory tropical stress relief.”)

Local Kensington Pride mangoes, rum, lime juice… perfectly frozen, dangerously delicious perfection. 🏝️

You’ve worked hard (or at least you looked busy) — now it’s time to sip harder.
Long weekend loading… see you at Snapper.

🏆 TROPHY WINNER – BEST CONTEMPORARY GIN! 🏆 🏆 TROPHY WINNER – BEST CONTEMPORARY GIN! 🏆

Down to our last bottles remaining.

Our Northern Distilling, Troppo, Yuzu Gin just took home the TROPHY for Best Contemporary Gin at the Australian Distilled Spirits Awards 2024 in August —Australia’s biggest and best spirits competition. And honestly? It still feels like a miracle and honestly a little like a dream.

We work in tiny batches—just 40-50 bottles per run. Every botanical is hand-prepared, every bottle is hand-filled, every label is hand-applied (yep, sometimes a little wonky). But that’s the beauty of it—we make the best gin we can, with zero compromises.

🥇 We love what we do, and we hope you love it too.
🥃 2024 stock still available—but not for long.
🌱 2025 will be even rarer, thanks to tough growing conditions in Victoria.

Get it while you can. Because when it’s gone… it’s really gone.

Which one are you? Or better yet… why choose? 😉

Either way, our team’s ready to keep the good times (and the drinks) flowing. See you at Snapper! ✨
