Absinthe and gin take this gorgeous cocktail to the next level!
Apr 6, 2021
This beautiful cocktail was created by the wonderful team at QVT Distillery, the gin-credible distillers behind our April 2021 Gin of the Month, QVT Dry Gin Édition CGC.
Bright and refreshing, this cocktail mixes the floral, herbaceous notes of our special Gin of the Month with absinthe, sumptuous cucumber and tongue-tingling hints of citrus fruit.
The “green fairy” makes a stunning partner to gin and the whole cocktail works so wonderfully as a way to transport yourself down to the sunny southern region of France that QVT Distillery calls home, Provence.
