Seasonal Sips: American Gin Cocktails to Spring You Into the Season

Spring is finally here! We’ve adjusted from the hour lost and are excited for the sunshine gained at State Line Distillery. Spring time also pairs beautifully with the bright, crisp flavors of State Line American Gin.

Our flagship spirit, State Line American Gin is savory and less dry than traditional gins. Sage is the star of the show in this American-style gin, grounded in golden Wisconsin wheat and barley and paired with juniper and citrus. State Line American Gin is a spirit that is smooth and versatile, perfect on its own or in your favorite gin cocktails.

Try some of our favorites, and explore all of our American Gin cocktails on our Recipe page.
