{"product_id":"garlic","title":"Garlic","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGarlic Spirit – Savoury Caesar Spirit Handcrafted in Alberta\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\nGarlic Spirit is built for people who take their savoury cocktails seriously. Made from our premium corn-based spirit, it brings roasted garlic, cracked pepper, and a warm savoury depth straight into the glass — the bold end of the Caesar spectrum, and a proper base for a dirty martini.\r\n\r\nNaturally gluten-free and handcrafted right here in Alberta, it swaps in for vodka one-for-one in a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Caesar_(cocktail)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eCaesar\u003c\/a\u003e, a Bloody Mary, or a michelada. Whether it's brunch, a backyard barbecue, or a hockey night at home, this is the bottle that gives the drink some backbone.\r\n\r\nProduced in small batches at Badlands Distillery, each bottle reflects our commitment to quality ingredients, careful craftsmanship, and memorable flavour. Made in Alberta using premium ingredients, it's one of our boldest handcrafted spirits.\r\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Badlands Garlic Caesar\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\nRim a tall glass with celery salt and cracked pepper, then fill with ice. Add 2 oz Garlic Spirit, 4 oz Clamato, four dashes of hot sauce, and two dashes of Worcestershire. Stir and garnish with a lime wedge, a celery stalk, and a spicy bean.\r\n\r\nThe garlic gives it a savoury weight that a plain vodka Caesar never gets to. Skip the extra seasoning — it's already in the bottle.\r\n\u003ch2\u003eGarlic Spirit Tasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\nThe first aroma is roasted garlic, followed by cracked black pepper and a subtle herbal note. On the palate, you'll notice warm savoury depth balanced with clean acidity before finishing dry, sharp, and clean rather than heavy.\r\n\r\nUnlike many savoury bottles built on a wheat base, our premium corn foundation is naturally smooth, letting the garlic and pepper come through without harsh alcohol notes. At 40% alc.\/vol., it sits comfortably between a chilled shot and a cocktail base.\r\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose Our Garlic Spirit?\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\nThis handcrafted bottle is made using premium corn-based spirit, making it naturally gluten-free while providing an exceptionally clean finish. Most flavoured spirits on the shelf are built on a wheat base — ours isn't, which matters if you're avoiding gluten.\r\n\r\nEvery bottle is produced in Alberta using small-batch methods that focus on consistency, quality, and flavour. Instead of a novelty hit, our garlic spirit offers a balanced savoury profile designed to hold up against Clamato, hot sauce, olive brine, and a loaded garnish.\r\n\u003ch2\u003eOther Ways to Drink It\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\nThe Caesar is the main event, but this spirit works well beyond it:\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eBuild a dirty martini with olive brine and a blue cheese olive.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eMix into a Bloody Mary.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eAdd a splash to a michelada.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eServe ice-cold straight from the freezer.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eTop with soda water and a squeeze of lemon.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eUse it as the base for a savoury cocktail with tomato and herbs.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\nIts bold flavour makes it a favourite for brunch, backyard barbecues, tailgates, camping trips, and hockey nights at home.\r\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e750 mL\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e40% Alc.\/Vol.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003ePremium corn-based spirit (100% Alberta corn)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eNaturally gluten-free\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eHandcrafted in small batches in Alberta, Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it in place of vodka in a Caesar?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nYes — that's what it's built for. Swap it in one-for-one and go easy on additional seasoning.\r\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is it different from Dill Pickle Spirit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nDill Pickle is the classic briny Caesar — fresh dill and clean acidity. Garlic is the bolder, savoury end: roasted garlic and pepper, and it also makes a proper dirty martini.\r\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Garlic Spirit gluten-free?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nYes. It is made from premium corn-based spirit and is naturally gluten-free.\r\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it overpowering?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nIt's bold but balanced — roasted rather than raw garlic, so it reads as savoury depth instead of a sharp bite, and it finishes clean.\r\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the alcohol content?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nGarlic Spirit is bottled at 40% alc.\/vol. in a 750 mL bottle.\r\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it make a good gift?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nAbsolutely. It's the bottle people don't expect, which makes it a favourite for birthdays, stocking stuffers, and anyone who takes their Caesar seriously.\r\n\u003ch2\u003eMore Gluten-Free Spirits from Badlands Distillery\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\nIf you enjoy our garlic spirit, explore more handcrafted gluten-free spirits from Badlands Distillery, including\r\n\u003ca href=\"\/product\/dill-pickle-spirit\/\"\u003eDill Pickle Spirit\u003c\/a\u003e, our vodka, our award-winning gin collection, and flavoured bottles like\r\n\u003ca href=\"\/product\/blood-orange\/\"\u003eBlood Orange Spirit\u003c\/a\u003e and\r\n\u003ca href=\"\/product\/apple-pie-spirit\/\"\u003eApple Pie Spirit\u003c\/a\u003e.
