750ml bottle of Hye Cider's Gin Botanicals cyser

GIN BOTANICALS

A crisp, aromatic cyser inspired by the botanicals of a classic gin.

Gin Botanicals is our homage to the bright, herbaceous world of gin, but reimagined with apples and honey. Juniper leads the way with its clean, pine-kissed lift, while supporting botanicals bring citrus, spice, and a subtle floral edge. The result is a cyser that’s crisp, fragrant, and wonderfully complex without ever feeling heavy.

It’s dry, refreshing, and layered with aromatics that open beautifully in the glass. Each sip carries the unmistakable structure of gin — that botanical clarity, that herb-forward brightness — while staying smooth and rounded in a way only a cyser can.

This is the pour for gin lovers, herb lovers, and anyone who enjoys a little edge in their aromatics. Infused with pink peppercorns, green cardamom pods, juniper berries, coriander, rose petals, thyme, cinnamon, and hibiscus flowers, this cyser announces itself the moment it hits the glass.

WHY WE MAKE IT

Gin Botanicals is the cyser for people who love flavor complexity but want something lighter and more approachable than spirits. We wanted to create a botanical-driven pour that captured the elegance of a gin profile while staying true to the smooth, fermented character of our cysers.

By blending apples, honey, juniper, and a curated mix of botanicals, we built a cyser that feels both familiar and totally new. It is clean, aromatic, and quietly bold.

A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY....

This cyser started as a playful experiment. Our production team wondered: what if we borrowed the botanical palette of gin and let fermentation interpret it naturally? No distillation, no heat, no extraction shortcuts — just apples, honey, and botanicals fermenting together to create something deeply aromatic.

The first test batch surprised us. The juniper stayed expressive but not aggressive. The botanicals wove themselves into the cider with a softness that distillation never allows. And the apples added a bright, clean backbone that lifted the entire profile.

What began as curiosity became one of our most distinctive cysers — a pour that feels like a nod to gin but stands beautifully on its own.
