⚬ Pour 30ml Grosset45
⚬ 40ml of Manzanilla Sherry
⚬ 1 barspoon (2ml) Verjus
⚬ 2 barspoon (4ml) honey/juniper syrup (equal parts honey with water stirred with juniper berries added and strained out)
⚬ 2 dashes Tea Pot Bitters (Black Tea, Yerba Mate, hazelnut, citrus peel, vanilla, ginger root, warm spices and one secret botanical which rounds off the desired flavour profile offering up notes of almond, vanilla, rose and bitterness throughout)
⚬ Stir lovingly with ice and strain
⚬ Garnish with a long, thin peel of cucumber
“Fresh peeled cucumber and the vibrant Grosset riesling are persistent on the nose. It has a light sweet initial palate which ebbs away on the mid giving way to an almost umami, savoury, dry finish; ideally suited as an aperitif.” – Ryan Gavin
