We’re inviting you to slow down, share the moment, and savor the season. Gathering Place leans into clean, calm fall vibes and subtle fall flavors, all built around the bright, versatile backbone of gin.
Crisp pear, warming chai, soothing milk oolong, zesty ginger, and fragrant lemongrass come together in cocktails that balance comfort with brightness; familiar enough to feel like home, yet layered with intriguing twists that invite you to linger.
Whether you’re hosting a full table or keeping it intimate, Gathering Place is a reminder that the season shines brightest when shared.
Perfect Pairings
Illusionist Gin
A stunning indigo German gin that turns soft pink when mixed, bursting with lemongrass, citrus, and licorice root to perfectly complement this box.
Nikka Coffey Gin
From Japan’s famed whisky distillers, Nikka Coffey Gin is crafted in signature stills for unmatched smoothness. Layers of yuzu, sansho pepper, and delicate botanicals create a bright, balanced, aromatic spirit that elevates every cocktail.
Ford's Gin
A true bartender’s gin, Ford’s is a London Dry classic crafted for mixing. Clean, balanced, and aromatic, it layers juniper, coriander, and grapefruit peel for a bright, versatile profile that shines in every cocktail.
Behind the Cocktails: Greg Mayer
Warm Welcome
Beginning his journey in the fires of the kitchen, Greg Mayer has worked his way through every aspect of the hospitality industry. After honing his palate on the kitchen line, Greg moved to the front of the house and found his home. His career behind the stick spans more than a decade, bartending all over the country—including Nashville and Austin, where he worked at some of the best bars in the area and racked up a list of competition wins—and consulting in more than just the United States. Over the past few years, Greg worked with the iconic whiskey Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey, representing the brand in New York City. Now he’s back in creation mode, bringing more cocktails to the Shaker & Spoon community.
