This gin was inspired by Julian’s love of cooking and watching cooking shows, gleaning inspiration from Top Chef, Chef’s Table, Beat Bobby Flay, and the vibrant flavor pairings of Chef Marcus Samuelsson. The bolder or our two gins, Gin Recipe 02 combines the earthy fruitiness of black currants with fresh thyme to create a complex and savory gin with a peppery finish.
Ideal in a gin and tonic or negroni, Gin Recipe 02 can also be highlighted in cocktails that creatively incorporate citrus, herbs, or spice. There are vivid notes of citrus on the nose, dried fruit and herbs on the palate, with a nice lingering finish of peppercorn.

5 muddled blackberries
1.5 oz – 02
.5 oz – simple syrup
.5 oz – crème de violet
2 dashes of black walnut bitters
Light shake with ice. Dump out entire shaker into glass
Splash of tonic
Garnish with Sage and Thyme
As you sip from the glass the smell of sage and thyme helps to bring out the fruit notes on the palate. The simple syrup and crème de violet soften the gin and the bitters round it out. The blackberries can be exchanged with just about any other berry or fruit.
