Spicy Gin Gimlet
Elegant yet unexpected, the Spicy Gin Gimlet by @jfdesfosses is a refined take on a modern classic. Bright citrus and crisp cucumber mingle with fresh basil and aromatic lemongrass, while a subtle Thai chilli heat adds depth and intrigue. Sophisticated, refreshing, and beautifully balanced, it’s a cocktail designed to linger on the palate long after the last sip.
