Summer Daze

The floral bouquet of the elderflower liqueur swirls together with fresh bits of plum and lemon juice to bring this drink to life. The West Coast gin, with its soft cucumber nose, clean juniper base, and citrus finish adds depth and complexity. The result is a perfect balance: a bright, fresh taste and a cacophony of flavors that will make you wish for a few more weeks of summer. We tried the same recipe with Vodka and it left us wanting. The gin makes this drink!
