Suncliffe's Summer Gin Daisy Recipe

by Wolf & Badger

Suncliffe Gin is a woman and LGBTQ-owned and operated Arizona business highlighting native botanicals and supporting local communities. In the Spring of 2020, co-founders Thomas Giddings and Ryan Lawence were exploring the Juniper forests around Sedona, AZ. Intrigued by the native botanicals, they hand-foraged 3 different species of juniper that grow in Sedona together and began experimenting on a gin recipe. Taking their creation to NYC, they teamed up with their friend + co-founder Clare Byrne to embark on an exciting project: producing an incredibly smooth and unique gin with a balance of earth and fruit-tasting notes. A year later, their first bottle was proudly sold in AZ. Keep reading for their Gin Daisy recipe, a new take on a gin margarita.
