This is so cool!
Respect to the creator
My goodness! This just made me realize I’m much closer than I thought to a very cool distillery. Thanks for this one 🌸🍃
I can't have grapefruit, anyone have a good suggestion as a replacement to try? Would any citrus work?
I feel like if you use a different citrus then you might also want to add some bitters, as grapefruit is more bitter than most other citrus.
All the people here from the Island, its wild! I haven't tried this gin yet, I'll have to get a bottle!
I appreciate this series so much 😂
That's so freakin cool
This is so cool!! I did think for a second that this was just a herbal tea recipe and got really excited. Now I can't stop thinking about making a wbn inspired brew 👀
Please be sure to show us if you brew something up!
Trying this as soon as I get home!
Omg I have family on the Island too! Courtenay and Comox!! Gonna have e to get them to send me a bottle down here in the desert of Arizona!! 🧡🧡 this sounds SO GOOD. I’m totally gonna try it.
recommendation for sake?
my local store did not have a huge selection so I think just bought the second least expensive bottle!
My wife - "I'm gonna make some moon bathed witch water tonight then!" Me - "New Moon, Lady of the Bog" *flames come out of her mouth* "NOOOOOO!!!!!"
Can't WAIT to try this
AHHH!! 🥰🥰🥰 Please feel free tag me on social media if you make your own versions with your own fave ingredients! I would love to see what people make with it and how they make it their own (it’s like Grandma Wren said “Remember always that some portion of magic is yours to wield, and that the world contains many, many truths.”)
This sounds amazing, and I am 100% stealing the concept of using moon-infused water to make witchy tea. Also my parents live in Qualicum and I'm sad I probably can't convince them to get any of that gin (they don't drink anything but wine)(and I won't be there for months yet).
