TRACTION

We have been working our tails off to get the word out on Frísco and the buzz is spreading. Our base in San Francisco remains the hub with Los Angeles growing significantly and some select locations across California and as well as New York.

Developed in San Francisco with a craft approach, Frísco uses grapes sourced from sustainable Central California vineyards and fresh Northern California water. Frísco is double distilled in a traditional copper still, aged in stainless steel, and finished with a unique charcoal mellowing – a technique rarely used on this type of spirit. The result is a clean and clear, full-bodied, yet dangerously smooth spirit. The taste has light floral overtones with suggestions of tropical fruit ending in a dry finish. Enjoy Frísco on the rocks or easily mixed into your favorite cocktail.

01. GRAPES

We use California muscat grapes to make Frísco. The grape has light fruity tones while providing Frísco with that full body roundness that makes for such a perfect combination. Distilled spirits are only as good as their raw ingredients so we constantly strive to source the best California grapes available. Being close to the grapes is an important part of our process as we aim to keep a minimal carbon footprint.

02. WINE

Converting the grapes into wine is the part that yields the magical ingredient, alcohol. The muscat grapes are crushed and fermented into wine. The wine is fresh, unaged, and unoaked which preserves the fruity, floral flavors of Frísco.

03. DISTILLING

During distillation the wine is distilled which concentrates the flavor and alcohol. Distillation uses heat to separate compounds with different boiling points. The alcohol evaporates out of the wine and goes into the top of the still where it is condensed back into a liquid state. The skill of distilling is choosing what to discard and what to keep. The spirit is double distilled on a copper still to give it a clean, full body. The spirit is then aged in stainless steel, to preserve the intrinsic fruit flavor.

04. DRINKING

Frísco was created to be something enjoyable and unique, a new take on an old classic. The taste has floral scents, echoing something tropical. The full body adds depth to any cocktail. Perhaps the most amazing part about Frísco, is the clean and smooth finish. We suggest trying it on the rocks with some soda or water to open up the flavor or mixing it into your favorite cocktail.
