Bartender’s Guide to the Botanicals in Rivi Gin Original, Our London Dry Gin:

Botanicals are essential in Rivi Gin production, as they impart its distinctive flavors and aromas. Typically including juniper berries and a variety of herbs, spices, and citrus peels, botanicals provide complexity and depth to Rivi Gin, making it a versatile spirit with a wide range of flavor profiles and contributing to its appeal in cocktails and as a standalone drink.

While Rivi Gin follows the core fundamentals of Gin production, our symphony of botanicals puts it in a class of its own.
