What Makes It Uncommon

Gin Is In

Gin has a long history of medicinal uses, but its latest application? A cure for the common booze—that is, if you’re using Vincent and Leon Horst’s DIY kit to make a custom batch. Here’s how: Add your own vodka (wheat-based is best) to one of the included bottles, then infuse with a vial of juniper berries for 24 to 48 hours. (The two brothers have thoughtfully included enough juniper to make three bottles.) Next, add an infusion blend of up to nine different botanicals, like green cardamom, orange peel, or licorice. You can either follow the included recipe guide or get creative and make your own signature mix. Let it sit for another 12 hours, and you’ve got yourself one deliciously flavored spirit. Better go pick up some tonic water and limes. Made in Illinois.

Vincent and Leon Horst

created by

Vincent and Leon Horst

German brothers Vincent and Leon Horst began their careers as a chemist and an aerospace engineer, respectively. But in their spare time, they experimented with a shared passion: creating gin-making kits. Fast forward a bit, and their onetime hobby is now their full-time job. Working with a small team in their office in Berlin, the duo design easy-to-use kits with wood chips, spices, and botanicals for mixology enthusiasts to craft their very own gin and whiskey.

This is a unique present worthy of James Bond's prestige.

Granted Bond shook his martinis so they were not as refined as the classic Gin we can create with this recipe. Still the comment stands the test as this gift created a personal and unique experience as well as a product capable of enjoying over and over again,

Great gift!

I bought this as a gift for my girlfriend. We tried a gin that we absolutely loved when we were travelling and were sad to find out they don't deliver to our country. So this is a fun way for us to try to recreate that gin. Comes with a few cocktail recipes too!

Was not expecting the kit to be so detailed

I purchased this as a gift and it was much more detailed than I expected with all of the various items that came with the kit. We cannot wait to use it.

Lovely gift!

We gave the set to our best friends for Christmas, because they love gin. The possibility of creating their own gin we found super suitable for the two. The set is not only super practical, but is also packaged with a lot of love. Great product!!

Great, fun gift

This will be a fun date night gift once we try our hand at it. But my wife was really surprised and happy after we had been watching a mixology show and now we can try some stuff on our own.

So excited! The PERFECT Birthday Gift!

This was a birthday gift for an aunt / close friend who loves Gin and is a prim-o chef - Always making something new in her kitchen. This gift was such a surprise and checked every block for being the perfect 'DIY' gift! Even after it was gifted and opened, I would still buy it again! #sweepstakes

I would like to get this kit for my boyfriend. He loves gin, but he has a severe allergy to peanuts and tree nuts. Is there any cross contamination between nuts and the ingredients in this kit?

Verified reply from Richard

The sets are entirely gluten free and do not contain nuts but since the products are hand-packed in a factory that also produces other products, our vendor cannot guarantee that the products have not been in contact with nuts -- therefore, we can only recommend using the product with an existing nut allergy at your own risk.

Is gin included on the kit?

Hi! Alcohol is not included in this kit.
