Story

The Moment

Some flavours have a way of transporting you.

The Boreal Mint Spritzer is inspired by the feeling of stepping into cool shade on a warm summer day. Bright lemon, tart rhubarb, and fresh mint come together in a cocktail that's crisp, lively, and effortlessly refreshing.

Lightly sparkling and beautifully balanced, it's the kind of drink that invites you to slow down, take another sip, and enjoy wherever the season finds you.

The Spirit Connection

Black Fox Limited Edition Boreal Mint Gin captures the bright, cooling character of fresh mint while remaining true to the botanical style of the distillery's signature gin.

Crafted from spicy triticale, handpicked calendula flowers, and our own farm-grown rhubarb rooted in our Canadian prairie soil, its refreshing herbal notes pair naturally with the tang of the rhubarb syrup and the brightness of fresh lemon. This creates a cocktail that feels vibrant, clean, and unmistakably seasonal. Every ingredient has room to shine, while the gin quietly ties them together.
