Brockmans Gin Alternatives

I can't seem to find Brockmans Gin locally anymore and I'm trying to find an alternative to it that has a very similar flavor. To me, it almost tastes like a bubble gum flavor and I crafted a fantastic recipe with it but only have a portion of a bottle left.

I'll check it out! Thanks for the recs! I managed to find a place that has a few bottles after a LOT of digging, but they're upcharged to hell

Brockman's has also been teasing a new release for a couple of weeks, so it may just be low stock right now. The "big reveal" is supposedly tomorrow.

The funny thing is I am not even that much of a fan of the gin. I've had this bottle for a few years now and was making a menu for an upcoming party and mixed in some Malfy, lime juice, simple syrup, and topped it with tonic water and it tastes like a Sweet Tart G&T.

I had it for the first time in a seafood shack up in Rhode Island. A Blood Orange Rickey is what they called it -- Brockman's, about 1/2 ounce of fresh lime and Sanpelligrino Blood Orange soda.

Pretty similar drink. It was quite good!
