We capture the spirit of summer with our Sweet Tea Gin through a harmony of juniper, matcha, chamomile, and black teas with a touch of citrus.
The taste profile is herbal forward with hints of citrus. It is perfect for refreshing a classic cocktail like a Tom Collins or you can just add lemonade.
Experimentation is everything; so sip it, mix it, but most of all enjoy it. UpEnd your perception of gin. We say, it’s not where you start, it’s where you EndUp.
-Gin Infused with Sweet Tea-
A Modern Take
UpEnd Sweet Tea Gin is distilled and blended to create a spirit that can bridge the gap between those who typically shy away from gin and the gin enthusiast.
Our aim is to upend the perception of gin as a singular flavor profile and highlight the broad range of styles and botanicals in gin recipes. To build on our vision, we began developing a citrus forward gin. We balanced that out with a mix of different teas. As the spirit developed, it became increasingly reminiscent of a homemade sweet tea and UpEnd Sweet Tea Gin was born.
