City Gin: a city gin made by a hundred Utrecht locals
18 August 2026 · 3 min read
Every City Gin edition is created together with residents and entrepreneurs - six botanicals, one city feeling.
Every city deserves its own taste, City Gin believes. Instead of designing a gin behind closed doors, they involve at least a hundred local residents and entrepreneurs in composing each new edition.
For City Gin Utrecht, that means conversations on the Neude, in cafés along the Oudegracht and with entrepreneurs from the surrounding neighbourhoods: what tastes like Utrecht, and what doesn't?
The result is an extra-smooth gin with just six botanicals - deliberately few, so every ingredient keeps its place instead of drowning in spice.
That makes the gin approachable for people who wouldn't normally choose gin, and interesting enough for someone who's already tasted a hundred bottles.
In a corporate gift, that's exactly the balance you're after: a local story, a broad appeal, and a bottle that stands out from the rest.
