July 2025|A Taste of the Ranch: Brush Creek Distillery Gin

Nestled in the heart of Wyoming’s majestic Platte River Valley, Brush Creek Ranch is more than just a luxury ranch resort—it’s a destination for discerning travelers seeking immersive experiences in gourmet food, wine, and craft spirits. Among its many treasures is Brush Creek Distillery, where small-batch spirits are crafted with the same care and authenticity that define the Ranch itself.

At the core of Brush Creek Distillery’s offerings is its award-winning gin, distilled onsite using botanicals grown just steps away in the state-of-the-art greenhouse at The Farm at Brush Creek. This gin is a celebration of terroir, infused with bright citrus and juniper, delivering a crisp, aromatic profile that’s perfect for summer sipping.

It features fresh strawberries from the greenhouse, paired with Brush Creek Distillery gin for a drink that’s as beautiful as it is delicious. What sets this cocktail apart is its greenhouse-to-glass philosophy. The strawberries, citrus, and botanicals are all grown on-site, ensuring peak freshness and sustainability. It’s a true expression of the land and the season—crafted with care, served with style.
