Producer's Background: Founded in 2008, Koval Distillery is known for revitalizing Chicago’s craft spirit scene, as the city’s first legal distillery since Prohibition. Located on “Malt Row” in the Ravenswood neighborhood, Koval has earned accolades for its commitment to local, sustainable production. Founders Robert and Sonat Birnecker left their academic careers to pursue the craft of distilling, choosing the name “Koval,” meaning “black sheep,” as a tribute to Robert’s grandfather who blazed his own trail by moving from Vienna to Chicago in the early 1900s. Dedicated to a grain-to-bottle philosophy, Koval uses locally-sourced, organic, and non-GMO ingredients, with each step from milling to bottling taking place onsite. This approach has made Koval a leader in the independent spirits industry, known for their quality and innovative spirit profiles.

Serving Suggestions: Enjoy Koval Cranberry Organic Gin Liqueur chilled on its own, or mix with a splash of Prosecco or sparkling water for a refreshing spritz. For an easy, vibrant cocktail, pair with tonic water and garnish with fresh cranberries or a twist of lemon. This liqueur also complements classic gin cocktails, lending them a fruit-forward twist with a delightful tartness. Best served at a temperature of 50-55°F, this versatile spirit shines as an aperitif or in creative cocktail recipes year-round.
