Few Breakfast Gin
Though not officially released yet (June 12th can’t come soon enough!), this is the perfect for brunch cocktails. I mean, it even has breakfast in its name. Made with earl grey tea in mind, Few’s Breakfast gin’s floral notes work perfectly in drinks such as the French 75.
Koval Barreled Gin
Another Illinois native on this list, Koval’s newest gin is barrel-aged, giving you no excuse to not try it if all you drink is the brown stuff. Using the same recipe as their Dry Gin, Koval’s Barreled benefits from spicy notes imparted by the oak barrels.
Knox Whiskey Works
Jackson Avenue Gin—The newest distillery in Knoxville, TN, Knox Whiskey Works’ Jackson Avenue Gin is going to be the one, if you can get in (read: go visit Knoxville, it’s worth it), that you’ll want to be stocked up on at all times. If you are unsure of gin, this is also a great place to start you gin-ducation.
Boodles Mulberry Gin
Heading across the pond now, Boodles takes their original recipe and infuses it with mulberries, delivering not only a delicious gin, but one that’s a lovely royal purple. This expression makes for great takes on classic gin cocktails with just the right amount of sweetness.
Makar Glasgow Gin
Scottish in origin, this gin is for the people who love—I mean, really love—the taste of gin in their cocktails. When you want a juniper-forward, botanical beauty, Makar is an easy choice.
