VGT Sweet

The sweetness hits first, but that botanical garden finish with the tonic keeps it from being cloying—exactly the round, dry balance I wanted for a slow afternoon. Poured it over ice with a twist and it disappeared faster than I'd like to admit.

I’m not usually one for sweet cocktails, but that botanical garden note with the tonic’s dryness balances it perfectly—it’s round without being cloying. Poured it over ice on a warm patio and it really did feel like the ideal afternoon drink.

The nutmeg and caramel come through exactly as described, and the tonic’s dryness balances the sweetness perfectly. I poured it over a big ice cube for an afternoon drink and it was smooth, round, and genuinely more interesting than my usual gin and tonic.
