My wife and I have enjoyed running through Hendricks and the various iterations of it. We’re not too fancy, but once
We bought a bottle of something from Isolation Proof (Bloomville NY) called “Spring Gin,” and it’s pretty horrid. And not cheap. Many herbal ingredients, but chiefly ramps, leeks, green onions…. I haven’t found anything to mix it with that doesn’t burn my nose trying to sip.
