DIY Gift KitsReal Gin Making Kit | 6 Botanicals & Spices, Stainless Steel Flask, Funnel & More | Handcrafted Artisanal Gin | Mixology Set For Bartender & Adults | Gift for Men & Women

I'm making my own gin (and tonic) now. It's absolutely to my taste and far less cheaper than a good bottled gin of the shelf. I am using my own recipe and it's outstanding. This kit is just perfect to begin and experiment with your mix. I've new tasted anything even this close from off the shelves products. It's a winner !

I received an infusion kit for Christmas, but noticed that for the same price I could have this one (which can clearly be used for general infusion as well as making gin). This kit is a much better value because: 1) the instruction card is awesome, 2) comes with 6 botanicals for gin. The instruction card has 4 general recipes with a "flavor wheel" for experimentation, which I really appreciate. (the infusion kit came with a general book - nothing about how to use the elements of the kit specifically). The set of botanicals lets you make 2 of the 4 general recipes. I made the "Basic & Traditional" recipe the day after I got it and it was ready two days later. I was quite pleased with the flavor! Seemed actually less harsh than many gins I've had. My only difficulty was straining my batch into the other bottle with the provided funnel and filter. The filter gets clogged quickly and the funnel does not hold much, so it needs to be emptied several times while doing the pour. However, even without the funnel this is an awesome value. (The bonus flask is cool too!)

Bought this for my wife’s birthday. We had a great time learning about and making Gin. The info cards made it Super Simple to read and understand the ways to make some basic types of Gin and within 24 hrs we had great Gin with Friends.If they would allow customers to have 2 kit options, when ordering, I would have opted to eliminate the flask and pre printed labels. Instead give more of the herbs. One recipe requires that you buy and ingredient not supplied in package. But overall, loved it and will likely get again for another gift.

I now can make my own gin for my Martinis from this kit. Being able to customize the flavors from the amount and number of botanicals I want is a really attractive feature. Seriously, who can fine-tune their whiskies or beers like you can with your own gin?I recommend it to anyone who likes gin.I bought a bottle of Smirnoff to go with it because even though the directions say a crappy bottle of vodka is all you need, I thought I'd go all out.I decided to also buy one for my sister who is now getting into gins. She loves having dinner parties so imagine how fun will it be for her to make and share her own concoctions!The strainer/funnel makes the whole process easy, and having two bottles (also included) makes it easier to play with the mix to fine-tune your blend. I STRONGLY recommend making your first batches small batches so that you don't make a large batch mistake of making a lot of something you don't like.With the holidays coming I can see a LOT of people having fun with these kits!

My husband received this for Christmas and boy was he ecstatic! I am pregnant so I am not consuming alcohol but he made gin for New Years Eve to celebrate with our family and it received raving reviews. He followed the directions but also tapped into his creative side and it turned out really tasty. My husband is now investing in labels, more bottles, and naming all of his different gins. Planning to save bottles for our children for their special occasions. He was especially impressed it only took 48 hours to make!When our Package first arrived the Juniper berries were missing. I contacted the seller and they sent out a new spice kit in addition to extra juniper berries. They gave excellent customer service and sent out the replacement promptly in addition to their regrets!This is simply a great product!!

My wife gave this to me as a Christmas present, and was rather smug about it because I had been commenting for the last few months how much I missed gin (but have been trying to get rid of some other alcohol we still have leftover from our wedding...over 2 years ago).I just strained my two infusions, and did a minor taste test, the other night. My only critique of my own work would be to be a little more heavy handed with the juniper, as I adore that flavor, and it was a little too subtle for me. Again, that's my own fault and not reflection of the kit. This kit provides an excellent breakdown for various flavor elements to use depending on the type of gin flavor you generally lean towards.Eager to try it again with more juniper, and other flavor profiles, the next go around.-Matt-

Interesting kit learned quite a bit. However they did not include enough of the main ingredient to make two batches. Had to drive to the store to get more. Also for the price I feel like could have included a better funnel and strainer.

The kit is nice. The flask is a bit hokey. The herbs are nice... it is nice they give you recipes but all of them call for tons of juniper berries and they give you fairly equal amounts of everything so it would have been nice to get more juniper berries to be in proportion with the recipes and you could get more of of it for the money. The funnel is weird, it is shallow and has a little screen that is going to slip so not sure we are going to use it. Still, my picky husband who hates most gifts seems interested and that is something. The incessant emails once you order are horrid.
