Desert Bloom
Thomas J. Story
Ryan Lawrence, Clare Byrne, and Thomas Giddings craft Suncliffe gin as an ode to Arizona. They also sell pre-made cocktail kits that are perfect for an overnight camping trip.
“Compared to a lot of gins on the market today, Suncliffe does not have a strong citrusy note,” says Lawrence. “We did this on purpose for two reasons, which are to really highlight the wild harvested ingredients, and because fresh citrus is always available to add as a juice or garnish.”
This recipe and other camping cocktails like it can be found in "You Can Make Delicious Cocktails While Camping. We’ve Got the Recipes," featured in Sunset's 2022 Outdoor Living issue.
