ACID IN THE MIX
ACID IN THE MIX
We Recommend…
substituting Acid botanical spirits anywhere you’d normally use a clear spirit like vodka or gin. Think of it as a simple swap that opens the door to entirely new expressions of the classics—martinis, spritzes, highballs, and beyond.
That Being Said…
our spirits can stand on their own. Enjoy them over ice, or with a splash of tonic or seltzer to let the aromatics unfold and the botanicals shine. Sometimes the best way to understand a spirit is to let it speak for itself. Not sure which flavor to start with? Try our sampler pack including a variety of 6 of our favorites.
Above All…
lean into creativity. There’s no wrong way to enjoy Acid. Mix boldly, experiment freely, and follow your curiosity. Whether you’re refining a favorite recipe or discovering something entirely new, the joy is in the adventure—and every pour is an invitation to explore.

SMOKED ORANGE ACID
Our Homage to Mezcal
The orange rinds, up-cycled from Beepublic Coffee, were slow smoked for 4 hours on oak chips to create this delicately balanced, bright yet smokey spirit. The spirit has a subtle candied-orange finish due to caramelization of some the orange rinds’ sugars. With a gentle haze, this Acid boasts a delightful smokey citrus aroma bursting with flavor.
Our good friends at Beepublic Coffee have recently begun making their own organic orange juice in-house. Instead of simply discarding the leftover rinds from the juicing process they were looking for a better solution and that’s where we came in. To partner together and collect the waste before it hits the landfill, and then infuse them into our distillation process.

COFFEE ACID
Delicate, Aromatic and Subtly Complex
Delicate, aromatic and quietly complex. Soft cocoa notes, gentle nuttiness and lifted aromatics sit over a light earthiness with just a hint of roast on the finish. Made in collaboration with our neighbors at Cafe Grumpy, this batch begins with spent cold brew grounds left after their production. Cold water extraction brings out a smooth, rounded spectrum of coffee flavor while many aromatic compounds remain in the grounds.
Our vacuum distillation process gently draws out these remaining compounds at low temperatures, capturing delicate aromas that do not appear in a cup of cold brew. The result is a second expression of the same ingredient revealing flavors that might otherwise stay hidden.
By up-cycling ingredients that would normally be discarded, we continue our mission to challenge what food waste looks like and show the potential still living in what is used.
Ingredients: spent coffee grounds, neutral grain spirit

CELERY ACID
Crisp, Green, Quietly Powerful
This spirit captures the vivid freshness of celery—bright vegetal notes layered with subtle minerality and a clean, earthy depth.
Made in collaboration with our neighbors at @farm.one ,this batch was crafted entirely from celery grown on-site—produce that would have otherwise been composted if no buyer was lined up at harvest. Working under the same roof has allowed us to explore the full potential of ingredients grown just steps away from the still, transforming unused plants into something entirely new.
By up-cycling ingredients that might never make it to a plate, we’re continuing our mission to challenge what food waste looks like—and show how much possibility still lives in what’s left behind.
