The spirits are available in four flavors: Latin Spice, Latin Lover, Latin Secco, and Latin Beach. Each spirit takes inspiration from aspects of Latin culture and is available at Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits locations throughout Florida. Latin Gin is also available throughout Spain and its islands, Ibiza, Majorca, and Menorca, and online delivery to select U.S. cities.
Latin Gin was developed as an ideal choice for modern-day gin drinkers by Co-Founder Ivania Sher. She was born into a family of foreign ambassadors in El Salvador, where she saw her parents entertain guests from all over the world with beautiful, imaginative cocktails. Due to this spark, Sher chose to make a premium gin from a female and worldly perspective. What's the end result? A smooth, bright spirit that may be enjoyed straight up, on the rocks, or in various inventive cocktails.
"I understand the modern gin drinker, because I am one. I wanted to create a premium spirit that feels fresh, contemporary, and versatile," said Sher. "South Florida is the gateway to The Americas, and what better region to launch a Latin-inspired premium gin than here. We look forward to working with Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits to continue expanding Latin Gin across the country."
The brand is a work of modern craftsmanship distilled in the foothills of the Italian Alps. The spirits are made by a family-owned company that's been perfecting the craft of manufacturing spirits for almost a century. The Gin is infused with Latin culture's vitality and carefully selected ingredients and flavors. Each of its four expressions tells a love tale, transporting customers on a journey filled with passion, romance, tradition, and joy.
Latin Spice Premium Gin is sensual and refined. Warm Calabrian chili pepper aromas linger on the mouth, making it well-balanced. It is motivated by the zeal and zealousness of a newly developed romance. Classic, balanced cocktails like the Last Word, Alexander, and Hanky Panky benefit from Latin Spice.
Strawberry and roses are incorporated into Latin Lover Premium Gin. This spirit has a sweet taste and soft, romantic, and pink-tinged perfume. It is motivated by the flowering of love. This spirit was created with fruit-forward cocktails in mind. It works well in French Martinis, Clover Clubs, and Cosmopolitans recipes.
Latin Secco Premium Gin is a modern take on the classic tones of the spirit. It is inspired by Latin culture and is infused with authentic Italian juniper combined with Mont Blanc water. The flavor profile is well-balanced and smooth, allowing for a wide range of blending possibilities in cocktails. Latin Secco is ideal for classic gin cocktails like the Vesper Martini, Sherry Martini, or Negroni.
Each taste of Latin Beach reveals a hint of citrus. This spirit epitomizes a tropical vacation, as pleasant as a nice summer day at your favorite beach. Passion fruit, coconut, papaya, and mango are among the flavors. With each sip, the taste of luscious fruit transports the user to a hidden beach. Cocktails like a punch, tiki creation, or piña colada combine Latin Beach with other tropical flavors.
Latin Gin is made with the highest care, resulting in a premium gin fit for special occasions. It comes in a classic glass bottle that matches its artistic blend. The bottle's sculptural shape, in red, pink, dark, and light blue colors, is made of ultra-fine flint glass –the world's most premium– and evokes the richness of the Art Deco era.
The spirits are currently available for purchase in selected Florida liquor stores. It's also available for sale online in a few states. Please visit the website for a complete list of retailers, for purchase, and for more information and up-to-date news.
