Deviation Distilling
Deviation Distilling is an ideal spot to unwind with craft cocktails. Their distillery specializes in gin & whiskey and pushes the limits of crafting truly artisan spirits. The girls and I got together here for drinks over the weekend & had a wonderful time.
We made our way through Dairy Block & arrived at Deviation Distilling. The space was warm and inviting with exposed brick, copper accents, and alluring bottle lighting; an elevated yet cozy atmosphere that made us want to stay awhile. Kelsey was our mixologist and created some stunning drinks for us.
The French 75 was made with Citrus Rosé Gin, Lemon Juice, White Grape, Toasted Oak, & Soda Water.
What a gorgeous drink. The palate of the French 75 was full of citrus and white fruit flavor. It had an herbal fruit finish that ended in toasted oak.
The Cucumber Basil Smash was made with Mountain Herb Gin, Lemon, Cucumber, Sweet Basil, & Soda Water.
The Cucumber Basil was really refreshing and easy to drink. The juice from the muddled cucumber made for crisp taste & fragrant aroma.
The Blood Orange Flip was made with Blood Orange Gin, Orange Blossom, Tiki Bitters, Whole Egg, & Grapefruit Soda.
The Blood Orange Flip was a superstar in looks and taste. The whole egg added a sinfully delicious froth making for velvety sips. The tartness of the grapefruit soda livened up the citrus of the blood orange gin.
The Spanish Style Gin & Tonics were made with fresh herbs, bright citrus, and juniper berries.
The gin & tonics stimulated all of our senses. They were vibrantly eye catching in their globe glasses. They were dressed up & fragrant from the natural botanicals used. The Fever Tree Tonic Water provided effervescent citrus bubbles with each sip.
For Small Plates we had the Charcuterie Board made with assorted meats, cheeses and accoutrements.
The salty-sweet notes of the snacks were a good pair with the strongly flavored cocktails.
For Dessert we had the S'mores Board that included Graham Crackers, Marshmallows, Chocolate and a table sized fire pit.
Yes please; we loved the S'mores Board. We toasted our marshmallows over the baby fire pit right at the table. The chocolates included Godiva dark chocolate, Reese’s peanut butter cups, & Lindt milk chocolate.
Big thanks to Deviation Distilling, Kelsey, Emily Tracy, and Prim + Co for hosting us!
