IT'S TIME TO SHAKE UP THE GIN GAME

At Hardshore, we use fresh, unconventional botanicals that aren't often found in gin such as fresh rosemary and green mint. With distinctive herbal notes, Hardshore's gin plays exceptionally well in cocktails that feature fresh, natural ingredients. 

Our gin is distilled with care on the rugged shore of Portland, Maine and brought to fine local spirits retailers in Colorado.
