Talnua's Casualtea of Society

Mon, Dec 12, 22 | recipes

This fun, simple Bee’s Knees variation focuses on complimenting the gin, allowing the spirit to speak for itself. The gentle flavor of chamomile pairs well with the delicate pungent aroma of fresh thyme. A touch of honey to sweeten things up and a little lemon for brightness and bite. This delightful cocktail has converted many non-gin drinkers at the Talnua Distillery.
