Behind the Drink
This is a Prohibition-era classic, created to elevate harsh bathtub gin with the natural elegance of honey and fresh lemon juice. Its name - slang for "the best" - perfectly suits its vibrant silken balance of citrus and floral.
Simple yet refined, this golden cocktail remains a timeless expression of ingenuity and charm in liquid form.
