The Mint Experience Summer 2020 Vol 4 Iss 1

Gin adventures ! For those of you who know me, I have a not-so-secret love affair with gin! I had the pleasure of working with Anna on this piece as she created her masterpieces - as I tasted of course!! We are thrilled that she created our very own Mint Experience gin drink. Happy National Gin Day! Jamie xoxo
