Spring Into Gin: The Best Bottles to Sip This Season

Gin season is upon us, here are the top picks to shake, stir, and spritz your way through spring!

Spring is the perfect season to refresh your home bar with bright, botanical gins and vibrant specialty cocktails. Whether you’re mixing up a gin & tonic or adding a unique twist with floral, herbal, and fruit-forward liqueurs, I found some bottles at Total Wine & More that would be fun to explore this Spring.

Here’s a curated list of must-have bottles to shake up your spring cocktails, complete with tasting notes and ideal cocktail pairings! (also no, none of this is sponsored! Just ventured into Total Wine looking for Everclear for Limoncello and ended up buying like 5 bottles lol)

Gins to Stock Up On

Barr Hill Gin, average price $34.99

Tasting Notes: Rich, silky mouthfeel with a floral, honeyed sweetness balanced by classic juniper. The raw honey used in production gives this gin a unique flavor.
Cocktail Pairing: Bee’s Knees – Shake: 2 oz Barr Hill Gin, 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice, and 1/2 oz honey syrup (2:1 honey to water). Strain into a coupe and garnish with a lemon twist or wheel!
