The Gin Daisy has seen a few forms, traditionally a gin sour with the addition of soda water or a dash of grenadine. This version from the mind of Bec at Darwin Distilling Co. is a refreshing, sweet twist on the classic, with floral Creme de Violette and icing sugar. Highlighting the floral notes of Darwin Gin's water lily and Kakadu Plum botanicals, this is a thirst-quencher to rival the humble homemade lemonade.
