Door County Distillery

Door County Distillery is the first in Door County to produce vodka, gin and fruit infused vodka.
(358)

Door County Distillery is one of the few hand-crafted distilleries in the state of Wisconsin and the first in Door County to produce vodka, gin and fruit infused vodka. The distillery is reminiscent of the casual, pastural surroundings of Door County and showcased in the stone-barn style feel of the building's exterior, yet modern and elegant inside, showcasing the copper still and small batch, on

-site production. The Distillery is classic Door County, as are the spirits, distilled with clean, limestone infused waters from the Door Peninsula. The first series release pays homage to the waters surrounding the county featuring the doors of lighthouses located in Door County. Come visit the new distillery open daily 9:00-6:00, with complimentary tastings.

We’ve made it to another everyone! We’re still in the Irish spirit this week so we’re highlighting our Single Malt Whisky. The Irish word "beatha" (pronounced BaHa) means "life". The citrus in this cocktail brightens and the honey syrup smooths everything over for a well-balanced drink. Cheers!

Golden Beatha
2 oz Door County Distillery Single Malt Whisky
1/4 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
1/4 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice
2/3 oz honey syrup*
1/3 oz chilled water

Add all ingredients to a shaker filled with ice. Shake until well chilled. Strain into a coupe or martini glass. Garnish with a lemon.

*To make the honey syrup: stir or shake together 3 parts honey with 1 part water by weight until well combined.

Happy Friday and Happy St. Patrick’s Day weekend! We’ve got two new drink specials starting today that will have you feeling the luck of the Irish. First, the Pinch Me, a martini with Apple Brandy, Key Lime Sour, triple sec, lime, and pineapple juice. It’s glittery, green, and a delicious balance of apple and citrus. We’ve also busted out the slushie machine for some green boozy lemonade slushies with your choice of spirit. Both these are $9 each and only available for a limited time, so be sure to stop in and try one before they disappear. Cheers!

It’s time for another ! Today we’re using our Barrel Finished Gin, which ages for a few months in American oak barrels before bottling. We especially love using Barrel Finished Gin for winter cocktails, as it adds a hint of smoke and char. If you don’t have our Barrel Finished Gin on hand, our original Gin works nearly as well. Cheers!

1/2 oz lemon juice
1/2 oz cranberry juice
4 oz grapefruit soda

DISTILLING GIN
