"Portuguese Bend Distilling continues to draw in the South Bay crowd with small batch distilled spirits with vodka and gin varieties in the current offerings. The Donna Rosa gin gets a very nice reddish tint from hibiscus infusion, plus locally-inspired botanicals that puts a different spin on traditional clear gin. It’s cleaner on the finish, all the better for simple cocktails in this gift set. The box also comes with Portuguese Bend’s gin-scented candle for a complete effect. The sets are available to pick up at Portuguese Bend (since the distillery can’t ship them directly at the moment) in Long Beach. Just call ahead to place an order." - Matthew Kang
