Meet Garden to Glass

Some drinks are better when the herbs come from your own hands.

Garden to Glass is a curated collection of four cocktail-forward herbs, each chosen for what it brings to the glass — and to the garden. These aren't grocery store herbs. They're the ones your favorite craft cocktail bar is growing out back. And now you can too.

Each plant arrives in its own 3.25" nursery pot, nestled in a wine-bottle carrier that makes it as easy to gift as it is to grow. Pick the grouping that fits how you drink — or let it decide what you make next.

Choose Your Grouping

Garden to Glass comes in three carefully curated groupings — each built around a different flavor profile and drink style. Select the one that fits how you pour.

The Speakeasy‍ ‍Chocolate Mint · Rosemary · Thai Basil · Pineapple Sage

The most complex of the three — rich mint, piney rosemary, and deep anise-forward basil with a sweet floral finish. For the bartender who likes layered flavors.

Best for: whiskey, rum, and savory cocktails

Seersucker & Sundresses‍ ‍Chocolate Mint · Rosemary · Lemon Basil · Lemon Thyme

This is the pitcher-on-the-porch carrier. Chocolate Mint anchors with the cool, clean backbone of a proper mint julep — rich enough to hold up to ice and simple syrup, familiar enough to feel like summer. Rosemary adds a clean herbal structure. Lemon Basil and Lemon Thyme layer two distinct citrus notes — one bright and sweet, one delicate and refined — that make every drink taste like it took more effort than it did. Light, easy, and made for warm afternoons that stretch into evenings.

Best for: gin, vodka, prosecco, mint juleps and light sparkling drinks

Well Traveled‍ ‍Lemon Basil · Rosemary · Thai Basil · Pineapple Sage

For those who want range beyond mint. Four completely distinct flavor profiles — citrus, herbal, savory, and floral — with no overlap. The unexpected choice that becomes a favorite.

Best for: gin, vodka, and aromatic cocktails

Shades Required‍ ‍Chocolate Mint · Lemongrass · Thai Basil · Pineapple Sage

The warmest, most tropical of the four options — lemongrass brings a citrusy floral brightness that pairs beautifully with the deep anise of Thai Basil, the richness of Chocolate Mint, and the sweet fruity finish of Pineapple Sage. Think Southeast Asian-inspired cocktails, tropical mules, and drinks that make you feel like you're somewhere warm. 

Best for: rum, vodka, and tropical-inspired drinks

The Herbs

Each plant in Garden to Glass was chosen for a distinct flavor role. Here's what they each bring to the bar:

Chocolate Mint

• Flavor: Rich, cool, and deeply minty with a faint chocolate warmth. More intense than common mint — a little goes a long way.

• Best for: Mojitos, mint juleps, chocolate martinis, rum drinks, minty simple syrups

Rosemary

• Flavor: Clean, piney, and resinous — the same bold herbaceous aroma as upright rosemary, in a trailing, cascading form that looks beautiful in a pot.

• Best for: Gin & tonics, rosemary syrups, whiskey cocktails, sparkling lemonade

Thai Basil

• Flavor: Deep, anise-forward, and savory with a spiced edge. Bolder than sweet basil and holds up beautifully to muddling.

• Best for: Thai-inspired cocktails, vodka & gin drinks, basil smashes, savory spritzes

Lemon Basil

• Flavor: Soft, citrusy, and gently sweet. Lighter than classic basil with a fresh brightness that lifts a drink without overpowering it.

• Best for: Gin, vodka, and prosecco drinks; lemonade cocktails; light sparkling spritzes

Pineapple Sage

• Flavor: Sweet, fruity, and faintly tropical with a floral finish. Stunning in bloom — and those red blooms are as beautiful as they are useful.

• Best for: Prosecco cocktails, rum drinks, light sparkling spritzes, floral simple syrups

Lemongrass

• Flavor: Bright, citrusy, and floral with a clean ginger-like warmth. Light and refreshing without being sharp — more aromatic than acidic.

• Best for: Tropical cocktails, Thai-inspired drinks, sparkling vodka and rum drinks, ginger-lemongrass syrups, Southeast Asian mules

Lemon Thyme

• Flavor: Delicate, citrusy, and softly herbal with a refined lemon note that's gentler and more subtle than Lemon Basil. Clean and bright without being sharp — it lifts a drink quietly rather than announcing itself.

• Best for: Light gin and vodka drinks, prosecco cocktails, lemonade-based cocktails, herbal simple syrups, sparkling spritzes
