Two friends — one is a horticulturist, the other a distiller — go foraging for missing ingredients in a garden a mile above the sea. It’s here that they come across an abundance of lemon verbena. As their garden scissors snip, a bright citrus aroma perfumes the air. The herb, they agree, will pair perfectly with the juniper in their forthcoming craft spirit. Let the artisan collaboration be-gin: The Denver Botanic Gardens and Mythology Distillery, a cocktail bar and distillery in the heart of the LoHi neighborhood, teamed up to produce a uniquely Colorado gin.
