Coppers Gin Recipes
Sugarwood Trees Knees
Sugarwood Trees Knees is the Vermonter’s version of the classic Prohibition Era cocktail, Bees Knees. In our version, hold the honey and use pure Vermont maple instead. We’ve come a long way from bathtub gin, too. You’ll notice subtle hints of green tea and orange peel, brought out by a touch of pure maple and a refreshing splash of lemon.
Three Perfect Gin Cocktails For This Memorial Day Weekend (With Pairing Suggestions!)
If you want to keep it simple and easygoing this holiday weekend, here are three craft gin cocktails that will give you a bang for your buck. Simple to make. Fantastic flavor profile. Easy-to-pair suggestions. Instantly upgrade your gathering.
Coppers Sugarwood Negroni
If you’re in the mood for a slightly sunnier, a little less bitter version of a negroni, this is for you. Coppers Sugarwood Gin is just on the sweeter side with amped up botanical notes that take the edge off the typical bitterness in a negroni.
Blueberry Basil American Gin Spritzer
Our favorite gin, plus shrub, lemonade and soda water.
This is probably Don’s favorite craft cocktail to make. (You should ask him!) The use of cocktail shrub introduces a whole new flavor profile to an otherwise ordinary spritzer. We prefer Coppers American Gin, but if you wanted a slightly sweeter cocktail, you could try this with Coppers Sugarwood Gin. Either way, this might just be your new fave.
Coppers French 75
At Vermont Spirits Distilling Co, our Coppers Sugarwood Gin is blessed with a touch of maple during its finishing processes. As such, we don’t think you need to add any extra sweetners, like simple syrup, that you’ll find in other recipes.
Coppers Old Lady 802
Like an old fashioned, but a little less sweet and a little more stubborn.
Coppers Barrel Manhattan
The star of the show. The Manhattan is a classic, whiskey-forward cocktail, and yet, we suggest you use Coppers Barrel Gin in place of the bourbon. Yes, we do. Our Coppers Barrel Gin is like nothing you’ve ever tasted. Start with 2:1 gin to sweet vermouth ratio and go up (4:1) or down (1:1) until you arrive at your happy place.
