Ripe blueberry up front, fresh mint through the middle, a slow warm push of ginger at the finish. It's the fruitiest of Amethyst's lineup but never syrupy — there's real herbal backbone behind the berry.
Amethyst approaches alcohol free spirits from a distiller's mindset: Burnt Church Distillery in South Carolina's Lowcountry started as a craft whiskey house before brothers Billy and Sean Watterson expanded into AF. The result is a botanical spirit with more structure than most — it drinks like a base, not a mixer.
Key ingredients: Water, natural botanical distillates, natural extracts, vegetable glycerin (soy), citric acid, preservatives (sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate). 750 mL bottle, 17 servings per container at 1.5 fl oz each.
Good to know: Alcohol-free (0.0% ABV). Sugar-free and gluten-free. Contains soy (in the vegetable glycerin — not recommended for soy-allergic drinkers). Made at Burnt Church Distillery in Bluffton, South Carolina by brothers Billy and Sean Watterson — a family-owned craft distillery with a whiskey background.
How to enjoy: Build a gin-style cocktail: 2 oz Amethyst Blueberry Ginger Mint, 0.75 oz lime, 0.5 oz simple syrup, top with soda. Or pour over ice with fresh lemon for a clean lowball.
Swizzle's Take: The one we recommend when someone wants a summery, fruit-forward AF spirit without it reading as sweetened — the ginger does a lot of quiet work here.
