Brooklyn Gin is made with only fresh, hand-cut citrus peel and juniper berries, cracked by hand to preserve the super-flavorful essential oils. This method requires a lot of manual labor, but it’s apparently worth it, because the result is fresh, vibrant, citrus-forward flavor. The folks at Brooklyn Gin buy their produce from local Brooklyn markets and make the neutral base spirit with 100% corn grown in upstate New York. It takes them three days to make just 300 bottles. Now that’s small-batch! tip of the tongue Gin is almost always mixed into a cocktail, but Brooklyn Gin also tastes great by itself. The gorgeous bottle honoring our favorite borough is especially gift-worthy. Did you know? Gin can be infused with a wide variety of botanicals, but it MUST contain juniper berries, which are responsible for that distinct, piney, gin-y flavor.
