# Space Vacuum-Distilled Gin Liquors Moonshot Gin is Made Using Materials Sent into Space By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-05-10 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gin-liquors References: [thatsnerdalicious](http://www.thatsnerdalicious.com/booze/moonshot-gin/) & [masterofmalt](https://www.masterofmalt.com/gin/that-boutiquey-gin-company/moonshot-gin/) The Moonshot Gin comes as one of the more prestigious [gin liquors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ginuary) on the market that has been crafted from ingredients that have experienced the [vacuum of space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mumm-cordon-rouge). Botanicals including coriander, juniper, fresh lemon peel and cubeb pepper were added into a container alongside actual moon rocks before being launched into the stratosphere. This exposed the ingredients to an immense level of pressure that is purported to have enhanced them with a certain level of flavor and charm before being used to craft the final libation. The Moonshot Gin liquors are available for purchase in the UK from [Firebox](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flavored-marmelade) or in the US from Master of Malt with the price set at a relatively low point to make it a libation capable of being enjoyed by anyone. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Space-distilled Alcoholic Beverages:** Opportunities exist to use the unique environment of space to create new flavors and experiences for alcoholic beverages. - **Using Extreme Environments to Enhance Flavor:** Exploring other extreme environments, such as deep sea or high altitude, for their effects on ingredient flavors could lead to new and unique product development. - **Hyper-local Sourcing:** Utilizing unique ingredients and processes, such as space materials or extreme environments, can create a strong sense of local sourcing and connect consumers to the brand in a new way. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Alcoholic Beverages:** Alcoholic beverage companies can explore the use of unique ingredients and production methods to differentiate their products and create premium offerings. - **Space Exploration:** Space agencies and companies can partner with food and beverage producers to research and optimize the effects of space on food and drink ingredients. - **Tourism:** Hyper-local offerings created through unique sourcing and production methods, such as space-distilled gin, can create new tourism opportunities and attract consumers seeking unique experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Outer Space-Aged Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mystic-galactic.md) - [Lunar-Loving Ukrainian Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ukrainian-vodka.md) - [Futuristic Luxury Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wyld-gin.md) - [Gin Shooter Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wattshot.md) - [Space Rock Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-rock-cocktail.md) - [Coastal Sea Salt Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monkey-47-distillers-cut-2025.md) - [Single Malt Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/single-malt-gin.md) - [Luxurious Lilac-Colored Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gin-lane-1751-violet-gin.md) - [Space Sake Brewing Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dassai-moon-project.md)
