Gin For the Win!
As much as we enjoy the idea of distilling our own gin, we moreso enjoy keeping our eyesight, bathtubs, and status as mostly law-abiding citizens intact. And while DIY spirit distillation isn’t as mischievous as Prohibition-era propaganda paints it, it’ll still earn a modern-day moonshiner a few free nights in the county lock-up.
Thankfully, we’ve found a way to get in on gin without also getting a visit from Johnny Law or his lesser known siblings Jimmy Firefighter and Jenny Emergency Ocular Surgeon.
Compound gin is our legal loophole. It infuses the spirit after distillation and is an easy entry into the world of producing excellent, custom cocktail spirits. The Gin-Fusion Kit is the perfect DIY process for the true gintleman.
The Heart of Gin
Juniper berries make up the base foundation for any gin, so we’ve included a healthy amount in the Gin-Fusion Kit.
We’ve also assembled a botanical dream team, nine flavor muses to infuse the gin with a unique personality. These botanicals are the active ingredients responsible for every gin’s unique aroma and flavor.
The Man Crates-exclusive gin-making instruction book comes with three recipes for a surefire success. It also strongly encourages experimentation.
Bottles on Bottles
Good news! Making compound gin doesn’t require slowly stealing lab equipment from a community college chemistry class the way distilling gin does. These fancy glass bottles should do the trick.
We’re including two 375mL bottles for flavor infusion, which we hear can split a 750mL bottle of vodka evenly. We can’t know for sure since we were forcibly removed from that community college chemistry class before fractions were covered.
The Gin-Fusion Kit puts the fun and freedom of gin infusion into the hands of the everyman.
