Listen: Cheers to Gin - A More Thoughtful Pour for Everyday Cocktails
What we pour into a glass can feel simple — a quick gin and tonic at home, a cocktail out with friends, a familiar bottle on the shelf.
But behind that everyday ritual is a footprint that’s easy to overlook, from how ingredients are grown to how spirits are distilled, packaged and transported.
In this episode of the Seeing Green Podcast’s Greening My… series, we celebrate gin by exploring how something so familiar can be rethought through a more intentional, lower-impact lens.
What We Cover:
The real footprint of gin, from agriculture and distillation to packaging and distribution
What “cleaner, greener gin” can look like across ingredients, production and packaging
Why there’s no single path — and how different brands are approaching the challenge in different ways
Where some of the biggest opportunities sit, including packaging, local sourcing and circular systems
How to think about what’s behind the bottle without overcomplicating what’s in your glass
Simple, practical ways to make more thoughtful choices without changing what you enjoy
Featured brands: Four Pillars Gin, Gray Whale Gin, Holistic Spirits Co. (Harmony Gin), La Crosse Distilling Co. (Fieldnotes Organic Gin), Sapling Spirits and additional Honorable Mentions
This episode is all about progress, not perfection — showing how even something as everyday as a bottle of gin can become a little more thoughtful over time.
Because sometimes the smallest rituals are where better choices can add up.
Please drink responsibly.
