Angelica

There is a sort of consensus that he Alexander was first made by a guy called Troy Alexander for a party held in honour of a very succesful advertising campaing by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad. They fueld their trains with anthracite, thus avoiding covering passangers in soot. They even made a poem (many, actually, but here is one): Says Phoebe Snow about to go upon a trip to Delaware: "My gown stays white - from morn till night - upon the road of anthracite" Early versions contains egg white. Later versions swap gin for brandy. With creme de menthe instead of gin it becomes a grasshopper. Made with vodka and coffee and build with the cream floating, well, that's a black russian.

Angelica gin is the intersection of Scandinavian tradition and British gin culture. Fruity juniper balances traditional aquavit botanicals which goes wonderfully with tonic. We garnish our angelica gin & tonic with grape, as it goes well with the dill seeds in the gin, bringing forth light anis notes.

Gin, herbal bitters, and fortified wine. Remind you of something? Think again! This is NOT a Negroni. Instead, this trip to France is an elegant and sophisticated summer-sipper with clear notes of fresh tarragon, finished off with a splash of crémant. Add tarragon to your Lillet Blanc to make it pop and remember to use French wine. À votre santé!
