GRIFFO WINS BEST GIN AND MORE

Since 2016 when Griffo's first spirit, gin, received its first gold medal at its first competition (thank you San Francisco Worlds Spirit Competition) the accolades have poured in. And no, that pun wasn't intended. But we're keeping it anyway.

Griffo's award winning spirits are testament to our belief that the highest quality ingredients lead to the most flavorful spirits.

We strive to use the best our local area has to offer. From the local Sonoma Meyer lemons in our gin, voted America's Greatest London Dry Gin 2025 by The GIn Guild, to the Equator Coffees from neighboring Marin used in both our Platinum-winning Cold Brew Liqueur and Espresso Martini.

"So full disclosure here – as a home coffee roaster of ranch specific single origin beans, you might say I’m a bit particular about my coffee – some would say precious, or even pretentious – and I also cold brew at home. This is to let you know that you’re on solid footing in taking this review as a very high recommendation. It’s spot-on cold brew aromatically, not roasted too dark to let the pure, fruited aromas shine. The coffee remains bright from beginning to end, making this perfect for a lighter espresso martini, or a sipper for true aficionados. I’ll be keeping this bottle…"
