Bombay Sapphire East. Most people are relatively familiar with the classic blue bottle of Bombay Sapphire. For many of us (myself included), it was one of the first bottles of quality gin we owned. Now, here we have the East version, which has the addition of 2 botanicals on top…
Bombay Sapphire London Dry gin. With Negroni Week coming up next week, coming atcha with this classic! Everyone knows this famous blue bottle, and for many of us – it may have been the first quality gin we loved. Gin was surprisingly the first liquor of any type I liked,…
Hendrick’s Orbium gin. This new US release in the Hendrick’s lineup is something fantastic. Now, I do like the original Hendricks alright but it never struck me as amazing or that unique. THIS, however, has certainly captured my heart. Orbium is a “quininated” gin, referring to its botanical addition of…
Malfy Rosa Gin. I’m so happy to finally see this gin hit the US, and it is delicious! Not only is it a beautiful pink color, but the flavor is fantastic. I admit I was a bit skeptical about the whole “pink gin” trend, but I’m glad to see this…
Barr Hill gin. This is a delicious craft gin from a distillery in Vermont. I previously raved about the barrel-aged version of this gin (one of my fave unique gins in my collection), so I was super excited to get a bottle of their standard non-aged gin. Lots of craft gins…
Falcon Spirits Botanica Barrel Finished Gin. This is a fascinating and super unique take on a barrel-aged gin. Unlike distilleries that are barrel-aging their standard gin offerings, Falcon Spirits is taking a completely different approach, using a vastly different formulation for the gin in the barrel-aged expression that aims to…
Falcon Spirits Botanica Spiritvs gin. I recently visited Falcon Spirits and had an incredible time talking with the founder and master distiller, Farid. With what started as a passion project, Farid’s passion for the art of craft distilling and experimentation radiates in everything he produces. That, combined with his deep…
Benham’s Sonoma Dry Gin. It’s officially the first day of spring, so what better way to kick off the warmer seasons than with this beauuutiful bottle of gin? I’m sure we all know someone who claims to hate gin because it “tastes like old people” or “like you nosedived into…
St. George Terroir Gin. I actually can’t believe it’s taken me this long to write about this. This is HANDS DOWN one of THE most characteristic and unique gins on the market. It is instantly recognizable in any cocktail, and so much that I’ve even had cocktails with this misted…
Malfy Gin con Limone. I first discovered this gin thru Instagram, and when I finally saw it at a local store (for an amazing price, no less), I had to try it out. Wow, this is a truly unique and fabulous product. I talked about it in Malfy G&T, but…
Copper & Kings American Dry Gin. This is a new-ish small-batch (very small, each batch is only 120 bottles) release from Copper & Kings. Gin is a very interesting spirit in that it’s really just defined as a juniper-prominent spirit. Various other botanicals are carefully chosen by each distiller to…
St. George Botanivore Gin. From all my previous posts, it’s pretty obvious I’m a big fan of St. George Spirits. This Botanivore gin is no exception. Unlike their dry rye gin, which really focuses on the juniper and unique base spirit with only a few additional botanicals, the Botanivore is…
Beefeater London Dry gin. I finally ran out of my Costco-sized Tanqueray (again…), and decided to switch it up this time and picked up a Costco-sized Beefeater (surprisingly cheaper than a smaller bottle less than half the size! <3Costco). This was actually my first time purchasing Beefeater and thumbs up! It’s lighter…
Recipe 1 cup roughly chopped snap peas 1 cup London dry gin (I used Beefeaters) Combine and let sit for a couple hours. Strain the gin through a coffee filter and bottle. About Homemade snap pea infused gin, mmmmm. I first had a taste of snap pea flavors with gin…
St. George Dry Rye Gin. Like all things produced by the lovely team at St. George Spirits in Alameda, CA, this gin is another unique high quality creation. Unlike most of the more mainstream gins on the market, this one is made from rye – yep, the same grain that goes…
Old Tom Gin. Ever hear of the Tom Collins cocktail? This classic gin drink got its name from the popular style of gin from 18th Century England – the “Old Tom” style. Today, the most common style you’ll find on the market is “London Dry,” which is considered the default/classic…
Tanqueray London Dry Gin. This is my favorite gin. It’s my go-to gin at home for mixing up a cocktail, AND I can always count on it being available at any dive bar (my default dive bar drink is a gin&tonic…hard to mess that one up right?) I find Tanqueray…
