Detroit Michigan Distillery
Detroit’s latest distillery takes a fun, playful approach to its cocktails. Wrapped in flora and fauna, the space is a jungle-themed oasis that somehow expertly balances sophisticated and fun theme details like staff safari hats and tiny monkeys hanging from the ceiling and adorning your drink glass.
Founded by eight childhood friends, Metro Detroit Distillery creates small batches of artisanal whiskey, gin, and vodka using ingredients sourced directly from local farms. The distillery and tasting room is located in the heart of Detroit’s Eastern Market. It’s also the home to Mayor Pingree Black Label, a triple-pot-distilled nine-year bourbon named after a self-described Detroit street gang that fought for their neighborhood.
Signature Spirits: Exploring Weiss Distilling Co.’s Product Line
The bar offers tasting flights and a full menu of cocktails made with the company’s bourbon, gin, vodka and moonshine products. A popular pour is the Topsy’s Revenge, a vodka-based cocktail that tastes like summer and is served in a literal elephant glass. The drink is infused with mango, hibiscus, lemon zest, and a hint of vanilla — all topped with a crunchy chili-salt rim.
While you can buy Two James Spirits like Doctor Bird Rum and Grass Widow Bourbon in stores across the state, the best way to experience these locally sourced spirits is at their Corktown distillery and tasting room. The team at this family-owned outfit are serious about the Great Lakes State, with more than 90% of their ingredients sourced from Michigan farms. They offer tours of the facility and host a series of events throughout the year, including the annual Thanksgiving Dinner for Those in Need.
