‘Tis the season for locally grown and hand-plucked herbs to get motley in a glass with gin. Toss in a couple now-sparse and coveted limes with a splash of soda or tonic—you’ve got yourself a craft cocktail your grandpa could even do. But the focal point for an herbaceous gin and tonic is just that—the gin. The folks at Captive Spirits Distilling have your back this spring, providing an English dry style gin ideal for porch-side g&t’s. The Big Gin was derived from excessive trial and error (27 trial batches, to be exact), to produce an orange citrused, cinnamon spiced (and everything nice like cardamom, juniper and peppercorn) and silky smooth, full-bodied—some might say big—gin.
