Gin and vodka are separate and distinct spirits, but both are made by fermenting and distilling the same base ingredients, e.g. corn, wheat, rye, potatoes, etc. The difference comes when vodka producers filter their spirit to remove all impurities and taste whereas gin producers incorporate juniper and botanical herbs to create its distinct flavors. Vodka is the most loved alcoholic spirit in America, yet NA vodka is simply water. The creator of Seedlip wisely chose to explore botanical flavors other than juniper to create complex, sophisticated spirits that are neither gin nor vodka but can be enjoyed by lovers of either.

I love using Seedlip’s Garden to make a pineapple jalapeno margarita! The smoothness of the botanicals compliments fresh ingredients so nicely!
