BEHIND THE DRINK

The story & background

Crisp botanical juniper, bright lemon acidity, dry sparkling champagne finish. The recipe centers on Gin, Simple syrup, Prosecco or Champagne.

Prepare the still ingredients first and add the carbonated component last. A gentle stir keeps the bubbles; vigorous shaking belongs only to the non-carbonated part of a recipe.
