Our hearts are with everyone in our community and beyond affected by the aftermath of Hurricane Isaias. Distillery 98 will remain closed for the time being, and we’ll share an update when we’re able to reopen our doors.

We’re grateful for this community and the care you show one another, and look forward to gathering again soon. Until then, take care of yourselves and each other.

Cheers 🍸

Meet the Martinez, featuring our very own Distillery 98 Gin alongside vermouth, maraschino and bitters. A little something to sip slowly, preferably with good company and nowhere to rush off to.

It’s one of several new cocktails featuring our Distillery 98 Gin and Rum. Swipe to meet the lineup, then come find your favorite.

P.S. Joining us for Meat & Martinis this Thursday? You’ll be getting better acquainted with this one—it’s our featured pairing for the evening 🥩🍸
