Austin Reserve gin is a contemporary-styled gin produced with a 100% neutral base of Missouri corn and macerated with juniper and five additional botanicals carefully selected to create a smooth yet powerful gin.
Bottled at approximately 100 proof, Austin Reserve is strong enough to shine in the most complex of cocktails yet perfectly smooth in a classic martini or paired with your favorite tonic.
Austin reserve gin is exceedingly complex, but decidedly straightforward. No secret recipes here, we let the botanicals do the talking for us. austin reserve gin is what you experience when you combine Juniper, Rosemary, Lavender, Lemongrass, Grapefruit Peel and Pink Peppercorn for your botanicals. It’s produced in small batches by macerating the aromatics in neutral spirit and then redistilling that spirit into the final product, proofed to approximately 50% alcohol (100 proof). Then, voila and viva la revolucíon, we bottle and share it with you.
Cafecito is a coffee liqueur with emphasis on the coffee. Working closely with local roaster Cuvee Coffee to find the perfect blend, we ultimately chose “Mezzanotte”, which Cuvee describes as having a “big body with a kiss of roastiness” and a finish of dried fruit and molasses. The beans are roasted less than 20 miles from our distillery, delivered and then ground on by us and immediately steeped for a strong and concentrated cold brew. The coffee is then blended with a filtered neutral corn spirit and Demerera sugar for a rich, full sweetness. We then infuse the liqueur with whole Madagascar vanilla beans for an added layer of complexity. In order to capture the flavors of the beans at the height of their freshness, the each batch is made and bottled within a week of the beans being roasted.
We named our liqueur Cafecito after the traditional Cuban coffee drink, sometimes simply referred to as “Cafe Cubano.” A cafecito is a shot of espresso pulled directly over Demerera sugar, which makes a very strong, sweet cup of coffee. Similarly, our liqueur is bold and coffee-forward, influenced by its namesake.
Cafecito is great on its own, sipped after a meal as a strong dessert drink. It also lends itself well to classic cocktails like a White or Black Russian and generally mixes well with most brown spirits.
