Regular readers of this column are by now well aware that I’m a fan of gin, appreciating the near-endless varieties that can be created on such a versatile canvas. When Junipero Gin released their new Smoked Rosemary expression this summer, I was intrigued. While rosemary would be a natural match for gin’s botanical profile, smokiness is a much more divisive flavor that can easily overwhelm if not employed deftly.

By Martha Wright, Founder of Clear Power Coaching As a former winery owner, I was quite on board with the culturally-accepted norm that a good bottle of wine or Champagne (or whiskey) is the ultimate gift. It’s the price of admission. It makes the host squeal or say “oh, very nice,” nod approvingly, and swing the door open to let you in.
