Fid Street Gin

Gin & Tonic

Sip history with the MAUI G&T, a refreshing blend of FID Street Gin’s Hawaiian botanicals, brightened by lime and sweet pineapple.

The MAUI G&T is not just a cocktail; it's a historical journey in a glass. FID Street Gin, the star of this concoction, is the first gin ever distilled on Maui and only the second in Hawai'i since prohibition, carrying with it a legacy of craft and innovation that dates back to the 19th century. Named after the sailor’s slang for “drink”, FID Street on lower Nu’uanu Avenue was the quintessential haunt for seafarers seeking refreshment and revelry. Today, this gin captures that spirited history, bridging the gap between the classic English and American craft gin styles.

This gin is meticulously crafted with eleven botanicals, including Hawaiian fruits and flora, distilled in unique glass stills at Hali'imaile Distilling Company. This process ensures a gin that is not only juniper-forward but also resonates with a very clean and aromatic bouquet of fresh cut flowers, citrus, and a whisper of forest air—echoing the lush landscapes of Hawai'i.

The MAUI G&T enhances these tropical notes by incorporating a splash of lime juice and a dash of homemade pineapple syrup, creating a sweet and tangy profile that complements the gin's botanical complexity. Topped with tonic water, this cocktail offers a refreshing fizz that lifts the aromatic flavors, making each sip a celebration of Hawaiian craftsmanship and the breezy, sunny shores of its origins.

Garnished with juniper berries, dried citrus wheels, dried pineapple slices, or pineapple leaves, the MAUI G&T is visually stunning and deeply flavorful. It's more than just a drink—it's an homage to a storied locale and a testament to the art of distilling, making it perfect for those who appreciate a cocktail with a rich background and a distinctive, sophisticated taste.
