FEVERGRASS SPIRIT New Release

Three years ago, exploring the southern hills of Antigua, little did we know that our search for Antiguan botanicals would lead us to something extraordinary.

I remember the day clearly, slightly overcast with our usual 30% chance of rain, surrounded by tall fragrant grass which towered above our enthusiastic little harvester. When we saw our then five-year-old chewing on a stalk of Fevergrass, we knew right away we had to do something with this amazing local botanical.

Known throughout the culinary world for its rich, bold, and lemony flavours, Fevergrass or lemongrass is a fragrant grass like herb that has a slightly sweet, earthy, and lemon like taste. Commonly known as lemongrass, it has historically been used to help reduce symptoms of fever, hence earning its local name, fevergrass.

Our Fevergrass Spirit is a small batch and highly mixable spirit, made much the same way as our gin and with handpicked fevergrass.

Perfect for anyone who is bored with the same old cocktail and has the desire for something LOCAL. Substituted into a favorite drink, Fevergrass Spirit really does take the beverage to the next level. Sure, we are a bit biased, we absolutely love it, and are so proud to put a little piece of Antigua into each bottle.

What is a Botanical Spirit?

When it comes to food and beverages, botanical refers to ingredients derived from a plant, usually extracting flavor from dried leaf or other parts of the plant. Botanical Spirits are made similarly to Gin (the worlds best known botanical spirit), but without the juniper-led flavour. Botanical Spirits are becoming increasingly popular allowing distillers to branch out into more adventurous flavours.
