Junipero is not the gin for people who want their gin to stay in the background. It's the gin for people who actually want to taste their gin. Crafted by hand in San Francisco and first released in 1996, Junipero helped lead the rise of Californian craft gin. From the beginning, the idea was clear: make a gin with real presence, real structure, and the kind of character that doesn't disappear the second it hits the glass.
That is exactly what Junipero delivers.
Bottled unfiltered at a bold 98.6 proof, this is a gin that puts juniper front and center, backed by bright citrus and layered herbal complexity. There is a pleasant lift and freshness here, but also real depth, which is what makes it so satisfying either neat or in a cocktail!
In the glass, juniper leads the way (a nice change of pace compared to other New World gins), followed by vibrant citrus and a clean, aromatic finish that shows hints of lemon peel, cardamom, and lemongrass. It's crisp, energetic, and wonderfully expressive. It has a backbone that makes every sip feel purposeful.
In cocktails? Junipero is outstanding, especially in "Aperitif-style" cocktails. And that makes is a perfect bottle for Easter!
Whether you are setting out brunch, putting together a spread of salty appetizers, pouring drinks with smoked salmon or deviled eggs, or just looking for something bright and lively to kick off the afternoon, Junipero fits right in. It brings freshness, energy, and just enough boldness to make the whole table feel more alive.
Junipero works wonders in a Gin & Tonic, where all that juniper, citrus, and herbal snap come through beautifully without getting lost. One of our bottle wizards, Alex, has whipped up a lovely Easter cocktail, and he swears Junipero sings with every ingredient in the glass. This cocktail, The Easter Lily, is bright & refreshing and showcases the beauty and lightness of Spring!
2 ounces of Junipero Gin
½ ounce of Apricot Liqueur
½ ounce of St. Germain
¼ ounce of Limoncello
½ ounce Lemon Juice
Shake and pour with ice and garnish with a sprig of mint! This drink is also great topped with club soda.
Junipero is a California Classic for a reason. If you want a gin with real flavor, real personality, and the kind of character that makes people come back for another pour, this is the gin to open this Easter weekend!
WINE ENTHUSIAST 91 POINTS- "The aroma mingles juniper and citrus; the palate also shows plenty of lemon curd sweetness and peppery spice (cubeb, grains of paradise, pink peppercorn), finishing spicy with white peppercorn and coriander seed."
