Philadelphia, PA - After years of indoor hangs and social distance, the trend is to sit elbow-to-elbow at the bar and share cocktails with friends. The glorious punch bowl is back: the large format cocktail to share, the boozy centerpiece that keeps the conversation flowing, and the drinks. Philadelphians can now relax and enjoy fruity concoctions such as Bourbon or Rum Punch Bowls, Orange Crush Fish Bowls, and Twisted Tail's Bourbon or Rum Punch Bowls.
What is Gin Made From & How is it Distilled?
Philadelphia, PA - Gin is traditionally made with neutral grain- or sugar-based spirit as its base, then enhanced with juniper berries to create its characteristic piney-woody flavor. Gin makers can steep botanicals in ethanol before distilling or use aroma baskets in their still to infuse steam with flavors to flavor their alcohol - this method is known as a pot still distillation.
