Gin Making Kit

Gin has a long history of medicinal uses, but its latest application? A cure for the common booze—that is, if you’re using Vincent and Leon Horst’s DIY kit to make a custom batch. Here’s how: Add your own vodka (wheat-based is best) to one of the included bottles, then infuse with a vial of juniper berries for 24 to 48 hours. (The two brothers have thoughtfully included enough juniper to make three bottles.) Next, add an infusion blend of up to nine different botanicals, like green cardamom, orange peel, or licorice. You can either follow the included recipe guide or get creative and make your own signature mix. Let it sit for another 12 hours, and you’ve got yourself one deliciously flavored spirit. Better go pick up some tonic water and limes. Made in Illinois.
