Tempt Hand-Crafted Gin Earns Two Prestigious 2026 SIP Awards Honors

Consumer judges recognize Tempt Hand-Crafted Gin for both exceptional quality and innovation.

Tempt Hand-Crafted Gin is proud to announce that it has received two distinguished honors at the 2026 SIP Awards, the only major spirits competition judged entirely by consumers. The brand was awarded a Silver Medal for the exceptional quality of its Gin and an Innovation Award recognizing its distinctive flavor profile and design. The SIP Awards are unique because spirits are evaluated through a double-blind tasting by consumers rather than industry insiders, providing an authentic reflection of what today’s spirit enthusiasts truly enjoy.

The Silver Medal recognizes Tempt Gin’s outstanding aroma, taste, and finish, while the Innovation Award celebrates the brand’s creative character and unique botanical expression that sets it apart in an increasingly competitive gin market.

“We’re honored to receive recognition from the people who matter most – the consumers,” said co-founder of Tempt Hand-Crafted Gin, Flynn Eldred. “Winning both a Silver Medal and an Innovation Award validates our commitment to creating a gin that delivers exceptional flavor while offering something refreshingly different for gin lovers and cocktail enthusiasts alike.”

Crafted using the original gin production process (maceration) with carefully selected botanicals, Tempt Hand-Crafted Gin continues to build a reputation for quality, creativity, and versatility. These latest awards further reinforce the brand’s position as an exciting choice for consumers seeking a premium gin experience.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported Tempt Hand-Crafted Gin on this incredible journey. Here’s to raising the bar – and raising a glass!

As a product conceived and hand-crafted in Miami, this award carries special meaning for the brand and reinforces its commitment to local flavor and craftsmanship.

“We are honored to receive this recognition from the Miami Global Spirits Awards,” said Flynn and Wayne Eldred, founders of Tempt Gin. “This award is a testament to our passion for celebrating Miami’s rich culture through our tropical-focused gin and our dedication to quality and innovation. We’re proud that our small-batch process, using traditional maceration of herbs and botanicals, creates Tempt Gin’s unique flavor, which adapts beautifully to a wide variety of creative cocktails. As a result, Tempt has been championed by bartenders and mixologists in some of Miami’s most innovative bars and restaurants. We thank the judges for this honor”.

This accolade further establishes Tempt Gin as a leading super-premium gin in Miami and reinforces its mission to deliver an authentic, high-quality spirit that embodies the essence of the city.
