Gracias a Dios Oaxaca Gin
45% ABV (90 proof) | 750mL | 32 botanicals, triple-distilled Espadín agave base | Oaxaca, Mexico — Gracias a Dios Oaxaca Gin is an authentic Mexican gin built on a triple-distilled Espadín agave spirit — the same palenque spirit base as the family's five-generation artisanal mezcal — infused with 32 botanicals, one for each of Mexico's 32 states.
Made by owners Pablo Lopez, Enrique Jimenez, Xaime Niembro, and master mezcalero Oscar Hernandez in an eco-friendly Oaxacan distillery (water conservation, solar power, fair wages), this is a 100% Mexican-owned gin designed for Mexican Negronis and adventurous martinis: a citrus symphony of grapefruit, lemon, and tangerine over a juniper-led, light-bodied core with noticeable acidity, finishing in black pepper and cardamom. For gin fans who also love agave spirits, explore the family of tequila and mezcal expressions on the shelf — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a mezcal or a gin?
It's a gin — but a Mexican one made with an agave spirit base instead of neutral grain, so it drinks like a bridge between gin and mezcal.
How many botanicals does it use?
32 — one for each Mexican state. Note: Gracias a Dios has also sold an earlier "Oaxaca Recipe" gin with 7–8 local botanicals, so check that your bottle is the 32 Botanicals edition.
What cocktails suit it best?
It was developed with the Mexican Negroni in mind, and its citrus-juniper character shines in martinis and gin-and-tonics.
