Start your weekend right with a Sea Buckthorn Gin & Soda!

01/17/2025

Nothing to hide here. See for yourself! 🔎

We’re proud to use 100% real fruit juice in our Gin & Sodas, with no artificial flavours or sweeteners.

Check out the great benefits of Sea Buckthorn ⬇️

Sea Buckthorn has all of the omega fatty acids and lots of healthy vitamins.

Sea Buckthorn is rich in flavonoids and omega-3, 6, 7, and 9 fatty acids, which have a strong effect on your cardiovascular system.

Palmitoleic acid is an omega-7 fatty acid rarely found in plant food sources, but Sea Buckthorn oil is one of the only plant-based sources of this unsaturated fatty acid.

This light tropical flavour is healthy and delicious! Feel good about your seltzer choice with our Sea Buckthorn Gin & Soda 🧡

Gin Cranberry Sauce Cocktail??

Put a “Gnu” spin on your grandmothers cranberry sauce with our London Dry Gin and Sea Buckthorne Gin Soda!

If you don’t have a cranberry sauce on hand, here’s a simple recipe to get you started:

Create your “cranberry sauce” by adding the cranberries, sugar, and water to a small pot. Bring it to a simmer and pop the cranberries. Add orange juice to taste, and to thin out your sauce if it gets too thick.

Put the gin, big spoonful of cranberry sauce, and ice in a shaker. Shake it up! Pour into glass with ice, add Gnu Sea Buckthorne Soda and soda water to taste.

Enjoy!

1 cup of cranberries
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of water
1 spoonful of orange zest
Splash of orange juice

1oz The Gnu Normal London Dry Gin
2oz Gnu Sea Buckthorne Soda
Splash of soda water
Cup of ice

Huge Gnus! Check back next week for a huge announcement. #GatherYourHerd it's time to celebrate!

Darren talks about why this time of year is made for gatherings and how that resonates with our local craft distillery.

Easy peasy orange grapefruit squeezy!🍊 The Gnu Normal London Dry Gin was designed to be a go-to gin that the whole herd could enjoy. Every small batch is made in Calgary with Western Canadian juniper berries, grains from the Alberta prairies, and sun-dried orange and grapefruit peel which creates a fresh, citrus taste and makes it perfect in a dry martini, G&T, or your favourite cocktail. And it's award winning. 🥉 Have you tried The Gnu Normal London Dry Gin yet?

We love a good dad joke at Gnu Craft Spirits. Here's a few for our herd. If they make you giggle, share. If they don't, go drink some of our The Gnu Normal London Dry Gin and listen again. #GatherYourHerd

Batch #2 is in the books. Our distiller shows the still in operation. If you listen closely, he describes the process describing how our citrus-forward Gnu Normal London Dry Gin is made. It's a bit loud when the still is running. #GatherYourHerd #craftgin #gin #ginstagram #ginspiration #ginlove #drinkstagram #distillery

The weather is cooperating this weekend. #GatherYourHerd as best you can with the new restrictions and enjoy our citrus-forward Gnu Normal London Dry Gin.

The Gnu Normal London Dry Gin is a pure London dry gin with a grapefruit and orange citrus profile. The only garnish necessary is a simple slice of orange with your favourite soda or tonic. We call this simple drink, The Gnu Refresher. After yesterday, we can all use a refreshing drink. #GatherYourHerd
