About

Blush Merchants is an Auckland-based boutique distillery creating vibrant, fruit-infused gins and modern spirits with a New Zealand twist.

Based in Auckland, Blush Merchants is known for its handcrafted, triple-distilled gins that bring colour and flavour to the New Zealand spirits scene. Their flagship Blush Gin was New Zealand’s first pink gin - a rhubarb-infused creation that quickly became a favourite for its natural colour and vibrant flavour.

Since then, the range has expanded to include other bold expressions such as boysenberry, alongside new brands like Weekender Gin and Russell Rum. Blush continues to champion premium spirits that are approachable, flavourful, and fun. A standout at festivals, Blush Merchants is a Gindulgence favourite, delighting fans with their colourful bottles and crowd-pleasing pours.
