Slow Clap

5.0(56)

The bartender Ivy Mix’s inspiration for this drink began with an appreciation for Greenflash’s very hoppy West Coast IPA, and a wish to round out its character with softer flavors. A calming, floral chamomile syrup and the mild amaro Cardamaro serve that purpose, while the barrel-aged Spring 44 Old Tom Gin adds structure and a different edge to match that of the beer. The hops and tannins notwithstanding, this is a drink with an appealingly citrusy, floral personality.
