Made with ingredients sourced directly from local, organic Midwestern farmers, the Cranberry Gin Liqueur offers a blend of fruit-forward and bittersweet flavors, surrounded by the crisp, well-rounded notes of KOVAL Gin’s signature 13 botanicals.

"This new direction in KOVAL’s line is an homage to aperitif culture," said KOVAL's President and co-founder Dr. Sonat Birnecker Hart. "It is an excellent base for easy, enticing cocktails and spritzes for all seasons." Simply mix with a splash of Prosecco or any sparkling water, or even incorporate into a classic mulled wine when the holidays approach.

In the bottle, the spirit’s intense cranberry hue is set against a laser-cut paper, embossed and foiled label, designed by Dando Projects in New York.

KOVAL Cranberry Gin Liqueur was released on Friday, August 10th in Illinois and New York, and has since begun rolling out nationally and internationally.
