The Art of the Still Organic Gin
USA
Gin is a tough one. Cheap and store brand ones can be barely more than bad vodka. Expensive artisan ones can taste like kitchen cleaner (not that I drink kitchen cleaner). But very piney. So it’s nice to find. $15 store vodka which is decent. Made by the people who make Prairie organic vodka and gin, this one has a good dose of juniper to give it a London Dry character with other aromatic flavors. Makes a good GandT. Tried mixing with other things. Did not work with cranberry but created some interesting flavors with pomegranate, so worth some more mixology experiments. Great value.
