Forthave Spirits is a Brooklyn-based distillery crafting handcrafted botanical spirits in the Pfizer building in Bed-Stuy—a former pharmaceutical facility now housing this creative spirits producer. The Blue Gin is distilled from a sugarcane base spirit and infused with eighteen botanicals, including grapefruit, mint, lavender, rose, and juniper. The distinctive pearlescent effect that appears when the unfiltered gin is poured over ice or mixed with tonic creates a visual signature reflecting the spirit's untamed character. At 43% ABV (86 proof), Forthave Blue presents fresh citrus peels, watermelon rind, chamomile, and cucumber notes—a botanical profile that suggests refreshment and brightness. The round, voluptuous texture helps the bold flavors make an impact on the palate while holding up exceptionally well in cocktails. This is a gin for the curious—one that celebrates botanical expression over gin traditionalism and offers a platform for creative cocktail making.
