This gin was inspired by Master Distiller Julian’s love of cooking and watching cooking shows, gleaning inspiration from Top Chef, Chef’s Table, Beat Bobby Flay, and the vibrant flavor pairings of Chef Marcus Samuelsson. The bolder of Common Ground's two gins, Gin Recipe 02 combines the earthy fruitiness of black currants with fresh thyme to create a complex and savory gin with a peppery finish.

Ideal in a gin and tonic or negroni, Gin Recipe 02 can also be highlighted in cocktails that creatively incorporate citrus, herbs, or spice. There are vivid notes of citrus on the nose, dried fruit and herbs on the palate, with a nice lingering finish of peppercorn. Bottled at 45.22% abv.
