Our flagship product, Hardshore Original Gin, was created after years of tinkering and refining, to ensure the result was a completely original gin that would stand out and add something new toolset of any mixologist. The gin and tonic is a quintessential cocktail, but it’s just the tip of the iceberg. We can help anyone discover delicious, simple-to-make gin cocktails that will delight the senses. Hardshore Original Gin’s herbal notes are painstakingly balanced to harmonize with the classics such as martinis, negronis and gimlets, but is wonderful when enjoyed with just an ice cube.
