Crazy Monday Gin

Crazy Monday Gin is produced by Spirits by Design, a Belgian company known for working with a broad palette of botanicals to build spirits with layered aromatic profiles. The recipe combines juniper with ingredients such as coriander, cardamom, black pepper, orris root, angelica root, lavender, Tasmanian pepperberry, wild blueberries and citrus elements including lime and laraha zest. The combination of spice, floral notes and fruit gives the gin a structure that balances freshness with aromatic depth.

The gin is distilled using traditional methods in which the botanicals are macerated and distilled to capture their essential oils. Peppered botanicals such as Tasmanian pepperberry and black pepper contribute warmth and complexity, while the presence of wild blueberries and citrus zest provides fruit brightness. Floral notes from lavender and the resinous quality of juniper round out the aromatic profile.

On the nose, Crazy Monday Gin presents a mix of spice, citrus and light floral elements. The palate opens with citrus zest and berry tones, followed by warming spice and herbal notes from the roots and peppers. The texture is structured, with a balance between fruit-driven freshness and the dryness of traditional gin botanicals. The finish is moderately long, marked by spice and a gentle return of citrus.

The gin can be used in a wide range of cocktails. A gin and tonic with a neutral tonic highlights its citrus and spice components, while cocktails incorporating berry or botanical elements allow the fruit and floral nuances to stand out. Its aromatic diversity also makes it suitable for stirred drinks that benefit from spice and citrus brightness.
