Sharp citrus with vibrant lemon and lime acidityHints of orange and floral honey sweetnessClean tart fade with a light botanical gin note

This cocktail pairs bright lemon and lime juices with the warmth of gin, balanced by a touch of rich orange liqueur and honey syrup. A dash of orange bitters sharpens the citrus focus while maintaining smoothness and complexity. Tart, semi-sweet, clean.
