The best DIY gin kit to give as a gift!

Do you like good gin? Good! We do too! Now, how about making your own gin at home with this beautiful and complete DIY gin giftset from a Canadian company? It’s a big YES! Ginius bears its name well.

It’s also a beautiful giftset to give to someone who loves this drink or a classy DIYer. 

The gin kit is easy to use and you only need neutral alcohol (or vodka, like this one for example) to make a recipe similar to Bombay Gin! The set allows you to create one bottle of 750 ml or 2 bottles of 375ml!

If you ever want to add some complexity to your homemade gin, you can macerate an American oak spiral for 2 weeks. This spiral adds flavor, aroma, colour and complexity to your spirit. It’s not included in the gin kit, but you can purchase it separately here. This is a nice way to use the kit on the 2nd time, after practicing once.
