Smoke Lime Gin

Zesty Lime · Smoky Twist — served chilled

Ingredients

• 60ml Cherrapunji Gin
• 120ml Seltzer Water
• 15ml Black Cardamom Syrup
• 15ml Fresh Lime Juice
• Dash of Vanilla Extract
• Ice Cubes
• Charred Lime Wheel (to garnish)

Method

Char the Lime: Slice a lime into rounds and sear one side in a hot pan (or with a kitchen torch) until slightly blackened and caramelized. The Base: Pour 60ml of Cherrapunji Gin into a glass filled with ice and add 15ml of fresh lime juice. The Lengthener: Top with 120ml of soda water to allow the gin's natural smoke and citrus to shine without extra sugar. The Garnish: Drop in the charred lime wheel — the burnt sugars will enhance the gin's smoky undertones as you sip.
