Recipe Note

Conniption Kinship: Aroma, Tasting and Finish

Nose is fresh lemon and orange with lovely notes of piney-juniper and sweet honeysuckle. On the palate, the upfront notes of juniper, coriander, bitter orange and spiced cardamom lengthen into a mid-palate of floral and citrus from the honeysuckle and cold distilled lemon and orange peel. Cucumber and licorice root add a fresh and slightly sweet finish.
