Move over gin and tonic, there's a new gin drink in town! This Raspberry Gin Fizz Cocktail is full of fresh flavors and is simply delicious and refreshing.
Here in Kentucky, it's mostly all about the bourbon, but this cocktail is made with delicious Kentucky Gin! Castle & Key is a newish bourbon distillery in Millville, KY. I say newish because it is a very old distillery that was created by E.H. Taylor in 1887, and was named the Old Taylor Distillery. After changing hands a few times, it was left abandoned for over 40 years. Now, some amazing folks are restoring the distillery and it is now the Castle & Key Distillery. You can learn all about the Castle & Key Distillery HERE!Ā Matt and I scored a couple of bottles of the Restoration Release Gin and Vodka, and are going to tour the distillery soon...so stay tuned for that experience. We will be sharing photos and video very soon! Now...onto the delicious cocktail that I am now in love with...
