Also available will be limited edition Halloween tipples like the Black Heart / 黑心 flaunting a Peddlers gin, Amaro Montenegro and grapefruit base topped off with a white chrysanthemum flower obeying true traditions as well as shots of Blood for Blood 血债血偿 – that combine Peddlers salted plum gin with coffee liqueur.
