Artisan Sugar's basil gin cocktail sugar is organically sourced and is both a tasty and aesthetically pleasing addition to one's drink. Giving gin or soda water a green tint, these handcrafted sugar cubes also boast a geometric shape. The cubes are also gluten-free to boot and are sold in packages of 5.

Those looking to serve an upscale lemonade can blend Artisan Sugar's basil gin cubes with club soda, creating a carbonated beverage that is a great non-alcoholic option at parties. Others looking to impress friends with a craft cocktail they can create at home can mix this sugar with gin and crushed ice, resulting in a final product that is both refreshing and light.
