Black Dot Spirits Gin

After we crafted our Vodka recipe, we went back to the drawing board and dreamed about all of the different ways we could mess with it. The logical next step was to transform our vodka into a flavorful gin - since gin is essentially vodka flavored with juniper berries and other botanicals. We tinkered and toiled with the recipe but couldn't agree on anything because we all loved different botanicals. We picked our favorites and pitted them against each other in blind head-to-head challenges. Over the long Wisconsin winter, we narrowed it down to the final six.
