Company Profile
With BUGIN, you can bring together the worlds of food, barbecue, and mixology.
1) GIN BUGIN
In 2018, we finalized the BUGIN gin recipe. The word "bocin" means "veal" in Piedmontese dialect. With its botanicals that complement those often used in cooking, it was the first spirit designed to pair with cuts of meat.
From the very beginning, we used BUGIN gin to infuse our artisanal cured meats, creating the first line of gin-infused cured meats, still unique on the market. Our approach is to both follow and challenge Piedmontese tradition.
The versatility of BUGIN gin in cocktails—especially during meals and aperitifs—goes hand in hand with its use in the kitchen, both for deglazing cuts of meat and for marinating them.
To release the notes of BUGIN gin in a truly special way, in 2024 we launched the first limited editions of barrel-aged Old Tom ex-Vermouth, the result of a meticulous resting of BUGIN gin in barrels that previously held red or white Vermouth.
2)- Cocktail Jellies for Cheese and Raw Meats
Rounding out the BUGIN range are our cocktail-flavored jellies—an innovative product that revolutionizes food pairings with cheese and raw meats.
We produce six varieties for cheese (Martini Cocktail, Negroni, Gin Tonic, Spritz, Gin Mule, and Mojito) and four for raw fish and meat (Bloody Mary, Gin Fizz, Margarita, and Old Fashioned).
3)- Cocktail Rubs: Spices with Cocktail Flavors
The BUGIN lineup also features another product type that is entirely new to the market: Cocktail Rubs.
These rubs use BUGIN gin botanicals as the foundation for ten distinct blends of salt, spices, and herbs, capturing the aromas and flavors of iconic cocktails: Martini Cocktail, Negroni, Gin Tonic, Spritz, Gin Mule, Mojito, Bloody Mary, Cuba Libre, Margarita, and SPGin.
They are the first and only rubs to bridge the worlds of mixology, cooking, and barbecue.
Simply use them to season meat, fish, fruit, or vegetables before cooking—whether on the barbecue, over hot coals, in the oven, or in a pan. A commitment to quality remains the common thread across the entire range: these Cocktail Rubs contain neither alcohol nor preservatives.
4) KETCHUP SAUCES AND BBQ SAUCES, cocktail-flavored
In our laboratory, we also produce the first and only American-style barbecue sauces that combine the worlds of mixology and barbecue: the Cocktail BBQ Sauces.
We make them using recipes based on herbs, spices, and top-quality ingredients to recreate the aromatic notes of the most iconic cocktails.
Both the classic ketchup and black garlic ketchup, as well as the BBQ sauces—like the Cocktail Rubs—contain neither alcohol nor preservatives.
