About This Freshly Picked Box from Shaker & Spoon
Step into the garden and shake up something bright with our Freshly Picked cocktail kit, a spring-inspired collection of gin cocktails bursting with seasonal flavor. Featuring crisp greens, ripe fruit, fragrant florals, and a touch of honeyed sweetness, this box brings together everything you need to create fresh, garden-inspired cocktails at home.
From the not-too-savory, herbaceous lift of the Clochette Cooler to the vibrant, fruit-forward Garden Patch Punch and the soft, sunlit Honey Bee Tea, each recipe highlights ingredients at their peak. Designed for easy at-home mixology, these refreshing gin cocktails are perfect for spring entertaining, weekend sipping, or elevating your everyday happy hour.
If you’re looking for a spring cocktail kit, gin drink recipes, or non-alcoholic cocktail ideas, Freshly Picked delivers a bright, botanical experience with versatile recipes that work with both gin and non-alcoholic spirits — including two recipes that don’t require a spirit alternative at all!
Consider this your invitation to sip what’s in season. 🌼🍸
Perfect Pairings
Ford's Gin - If you’re into a classic London Dry gin.
St. George Botanivore - If you want to up the floral and herbaceous notes in each cocktail.
Citadelle - If you’re into a French gin with a complex, elegant profile.
Non-Alcoholic (NA): Seedlip Garden 108 - If you’re into a fresh, herbal non-alcoholic spirit with garden-forward notes.

How We Feel About This Freshly Picked Box
Bloopers
Our can of ginger beer decided to make a dramatic exit and burst in transit, leaving the inside of our box a bit … enthusiastically seasoned. So instead of our usual pristine unboxing photo, we’re sharing the salvaged snapshots of what survived the splash.
When your ginger beer goes rogue, but you still pause to admire its dramatic final resting place. The “Freshly Picked” survivors reporting for duty ready to make the best of a soggy situation. The rescue basket: everything we salvaged waiting to brighten the day.
