Get creative this summer by playing craft distiller and making your own signature spirit with the Homemade Gin Kit.
So you’ve decided to get in on the gin making game and we don’t blame you. Every man and his dog now has a gin, with innovative and distinctive styles hitting the liquor store shelves and cocktail bars across Asia. However, unless you have a pot still hiding away somewhere in your man cave, you might have to take a few shortcuts if you’re set on making a mark with your own heady take.

Fortunately, the Homemade Gin Kit does most of the work for you. The set up comes complete with hand-selected juniper berries, special spices, and enough equipment to make it look like you know what you’re doing.
Simply start with a bottle of your favourite vodka, which acts as the perfect blank canvas on which you can express yourself. Add the kit’s spices, and botanicals, which include hints of sandalwood, lavender, and green cardamom, seek inspiration from the back of the cupboard or from the local wet market, and let the ingredients steep in the spirit for 36 hours.
