Fords Gin Cocktails in the 904

For years, we’ve been intrigued by a variety of cocktails in our city. After being introduced to Fords Gin, we were instantly inspired to create a guide to share.

We started off our weekend journey in our favorite old city on Anastasia Island at Odd Birds. Across the bay, we headed into the historic Arts District where we visited Forgotten Tonic, and then strolled down St. George Street. At Boat Drinks, we enjoyed a special gin cocktail called the “Melon Patch”. Our final destination was Prohibition Kitchen.

The expedition continued back in Avondale - one of Jacksonville’s most beautiful & historic neighborhoods where we found ourselves at Josephine for brunch. The beach was next on the line up where we visited Lynchs and O-Ku.

Fords Gin, a gin that's won loads of awards, can be found in plenty of places around the 904. Whether you're seeking an adventurous mixology experience or simply want to savor a classic gin and tonic, Fords Gin is a reliable companion for any occasion.
