Gin is regularly put aside in the winter months in favor of the soothing warmth of whiskey, but Coppercraft Gin takes wonderfully to winter spices and is perfect for cold weather cocktails. Below Will, our Senior Production Specialist, shares his passion for gin and juniper berries, while also describing what Coppercraft Gin tastes like.
Gin according to Coppercraft Distillery:
Coppercraft Gin is made using 13 botanicals, including juniper, coriander, orange, cinnamon, and lemon. It’s steeped for 24 hours and redistilled. The process is straightforward, but requires constant supervision.
“Gin is so interesting because you can make adjustments and improvements to the liquid overnight, whereas whiskey takes years to learn from modifications.” (Will)
Coppercraft Gin is extremely approachable for gin newcomers. It has a juniper presence, but is also tamed by citrus, coriander, and other baking spices. It’s also award-winning. Our team is proud and honored that our gin won Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2021.
How you should drink Coppercraft Gin, according to our team:
Will, Senior Production Specialist: I prefer Coppercraft Gin in the classic Fitzgerald Cocktail. It’s a clean and refreshing cocktail that goes down easy.
2 oz Coppercraft Gin
.75 oz lemon juice
1 oz simple syrup
2 dashes of Angostura bitters
Combine all ingredients and stir lightly; serve neat or over ice in a coupe glass. Garnish with a lemon peel.
Matt O, Production Coordinator: I enjoy our gin with soda water, so as to not mask the wonderful flavors the gin bestows.
