I know my posts have been a little event-heavy lately, but I’m just excited that there are some events going on in the East Bay…AND…I’m so blown away by the new St. George Spirits gins that it’s probably all I’m going to talk about for the new few weeks! I just tasted these at the SF Cocktail Week Preview Party yesterday, and they are a thing of wonder.
The Botanivore is vegetal, raw, herbaceous and begs to be mixed into some great cocktails. The Terroir Gin is made from botanicals from Mt. Tamalpais and sings of Douglas fir and sage. Interesting enough to sip it on its own. The Dry Rye Gin is a cross between a genever gin and a whiskey, and again is something that I would enjoy on its own with a little ice.
If you’re free this coming Monday, head over to ACME BAR & CO. in Berkeley to try six specialty cocktails featuring the new, yet-to-be-released St. George gins, as well as Templeton Rye, Ilegal Mezcal and Oro Pisco.
