We believe that finding a common ground with those around us is what adds substance and meaning to our lives. Our common ground is the belief that everybody, no matter race, religion, or gender identity should have equal opportunities in all aspects of life—and our approach to premium craft spirits embodies those values. Our hope is that you will join us on this journey and find common ground over a dram of our artisanal Gin and Bourbon expressions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSustainable Spirits Through Local Ingredients and Partnerships\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLocated in Berkeley, California, Common Ground Spirits is committed to using local ingredients and partnering with friends and neighbors to build a strong community. We source the ingredients for our Gin and Bourbon expressions from California’s bounty; Gin 01 and Gin 02 both incorporate hand-selected blends of the finest botanicals from our local partners, while our Bourbon is made with 100% California-grown grain. Our spirits have been formulated with the assistance of our neighbor, Ryan Sutherland of Sutherland Distilling Company in Livermore, California. By investing in our local community and economy, we are ensuring that as we thrive, so too will the people around us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore About Us\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJulian and Tory, coworkers turned lifelong friends, started their journey together in the tech industry, where both founders shared common ground with each other as men of color. After achieving success in their tech careers, they felt a strong desire to build a legacy, something of their own fruition and creative vision that could be passed on to future generations and other black-owned businesses. Their overall vision: to make a positive impact on the spirits industry by creating a company that takes pride in its representation and diversity. By mentoring and motivating other black-owned companies, Tory and Julian believe they can build a more diverse and inclusive spirits industry.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-awards clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"quotes\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAroma: Refreshing floral and citrus notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaste: Uniquely fresh and fruity blend\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Floral finish of elderflower on the palate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBotanicals: Juniper Berries, Cucumber, Basil, Elderflower, Coriander Seed, Rose Petals, Lime Peel, Lemon Peel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerfect Serve:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis gin can be enjoyed over ice or mixed into your favorite gin cocktail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCOCKTIAL\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“STOLEN BASE”\u003cbr\u003eBy Calina Kung\u003cbr\u003eStolen Base inspired by Rickey Henderson\u003cbr\u003e2 oz Common Ground Gin\u003cbr\u003e1 oz fresh lime juice\u003cbr\u003e½ oz St Germain Elderflower Liqueur\u003cbr\u003e3-5 oz chilled tonic water\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePour gin, lime juice and St. Germain into ice filled highball glass.
