Devil’s Grin Texas Gin
PRICE: $25
SHOP: @devilsgringin.com
Devil’s Grin is an award-winning premium gin proudly handcrafted in Texas. It’s shaking up the gin category with this fresh and unexpected All-American gin. Named after the Texas-native mesquite tree’s nickname, “the Devil with Roots,” Devil’s Grin gets its signature “grin” from a distinctive blend of 14 botanicals sourced from six continents and Texas rainwater collected in Fort Worth. The result is a highly approachable gin designed to appeal to both seasoned gin drinkers and newcomers alike, making it a staple you will want to have on hand all summer long. Tasting Notes: bright citrus notes, earthy depth, and a subtle spice, light on the juniper flavor. Unlike traditional juniper-forward gins, juniper takes a back seat in this expression to let citrus flavors shine through. Devil’s Grin is great for making a variety of refreshing, crowd-pleasing summer cocktails. This Father’s Day, try out the “Grin & Tonic” to keep it light and refreshing. Perfect for the outdoors.
