LOCALLY SOURCED gin is the spirit we look for to provide the deepest expression of local flora and botanicals. Arizona’s newest gin producer, Suncliffe Gin, uses “a trio of native Arizona juniper—one-seed, shaggy and alligator—with a blend of wild-foraged botanicals, including ponderosa pine bark, manzanita and western elderflower” to distill the essence of Sedona and Northern Arizona. Each purchase supports DigDeep’s Navajo Water Project.
