Less well known but an up and comer is South Africa. They are especially getting known for their craft distilled gins. From my recent trip to South Africa, I brought these two home with me.

They are located on a farm in De Wet, Western Cape which is northwest of Cape Town. The blue color comes from the blue pea flower. When mixed with tonic water, your drink turns a light pink. Six Dogs makes a number of unique gins including Six Dogs Karoo which uses botanicals such as wild lavender and the Karoo thorn flower which they grow on their own farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To all the gin lovers out there, I wish them a happy but belated World Gin Day.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, June 13th, was World Gin Day.
