The Racketeer Gin | Verbena

One sip of Racketeer’s Verbena Gin, and I swear I time-traveled. Suddenly, it’s the 70s (or maybe early 80s—I refuse to confirm), and I’m barefoot on a scorching-hot driveway, sucking on a lemon ice block while the garden hose sprays my ankles. Then, I’m in my 20s, at a summer BBQ, clutching a gin and tonic and pretending I know how to cook sausages properly. And now? Well, I’m over 50, and I’ve got this in my glass, wondering why I ever wasted time drinking anything else.

This gin is zesty, refreshing, and outrageously drinkable. It’s got lemony brightness, a whisper of herbs, and just enough bite to remind you that you’re an adult now (even if your taste buds still think they’re 21). It’s like a G&T and a Mediterranean holiday had a very classy lovechild.

Fair warning: You will take a sip and immediately regret not ordering a bigger bottle. Highly recommend—just don’t be surprised if you suddenly feel the urge to buy a pair of jandals and make a mixtape. 🍋🍸😆

Extremely tasty gin. I was not previously a gin drinker but this has converted me. It's very refreshing. I love it!

Lovely Gin, took some away with me to a friends place in Auckland and she requested some more for the next visit.

We first found the Verbina gin on a trip home to Christchurch at The Juniper Collective and took a bottle back to Australia with us. Inevitably we finished the bottle and loved it so much we wanted more. After reaching out to Longshotdistillery we received the absolute best customer service to help sort the order and delivery to Australia. 10/10 will purchase again.

One of my favourite gins - love it made into a cocktail with lime, sugar syrup and tonic water.
