Award-Winning Craft Distillery Brings Back Scratch-Made Gin That Utilizes Entire Fruit

On the heels of the successful launch of Summer Solstice Gin — Tamworth Distilling, the rural New Hampshire distillery best known for its bold experimentation with local flora and fauna, is thrilled to announce the return of Tamworth Garden Watermelon Flavored Gin – back by popular demand! With National Watermelon Day coming up (August 3), there’s plenty of reasons to sip this season’s refreshing and aromatic late-summer sipper. Tamworth Garden Watermelon Flavored Gin is available now at the rural New Hampshire distillery for $55 (60 proof, 750 ml) and for nationwide online purchase. 

Tamworth Garden Watermelon Flavored Gin rings in at 60 proof and is a lovely base for an at-home summer cocktail (recipes below) — but is even better sipped on its own over ice, with a sprig of fresh plucked mint from the garden. Made with natural ingredients, Tamworth Garden Watermelon Gin is perfect for lazy days in the sun or sultry summer nights. The spirit is made with fresh watermelon juice sourced from pressed whole fruit (rind and all) and is best enjoyed fresh, as there are no added preservatives.
